WikiUpLib:Cable/Definition : Différence entre versions

Version du 1 août 2015 à 12:25

A cable is :

• a headline whose length is 140 characters minus the place for a link (1st channel is twitter)
• a shortlink bringing to the cable content which is stored as a wikipage at http://uplib.fr (we may use our own link shortener)
• there may, or not, be an associate image (to see)

Cable content

A cable content is a short wiki page made of :

• Generally only a few informative lines about a news. Should be easily readable.
• No predefined format. Maybe an optimal format will emerge, and we will adopt it. But at the beginning, we just try our best.
• some links (internal and external)
• 1 image
• the whole should stand in a page without scrollbar
• images must be proven licence free images ("image is ok, believe me" is not a proof)
• image size must be reasonable (max 150ko, mean 100ko), if writers don't know how to do ... learn !

• expectations : 2 or 3 cables per day per contributor

• no a priori cable validation (5 minutes at maximum). The great a priori validation is done by being selected to be a member of the team. The hypothesis is then confidence (until it is broken).
• posteriori validation : if a writer breaks the editorial policy and/or the technical policy too much, he is simply fired

• an original cable may followed by related retweets
• an original cable may be replayed 2 or 3 times in the day
• an original cable may be replayed as an archive when relevant

• a cable is not fixed. It can very well be augmented in the minutes/hours/days which follow the news with additionnal informations, links, reactions, etc

• each cable gets some categories. Which will facilitate compilation etc.

• a cable has its short life on social medias, and a longer one on the wiki

• a cable may be available in several languages

Image

• maybe it's possible to realize a screenshot of the wikipage, or the top of this page. To go with the tweet. ?
