This should be a listing of current, ongoing Technical and Computing projects that aren't yet complete enough to merit real documentation. Be warned, this is liable to be outdated and should be used for some idea of what's going on. Also worth a look is the [https://ystv.co.uk/internal/TechieTodo/ Techie Todo List] and the [https://ystvdev.york.ac.uk/trac Trac Listings] for some of the other ongoing projects. | This should be a listing of current, ongoing Technical and Computing projects that aren't yet complete enough to merit real documentation.

Negotiate with IT Services for an external firewall hole, so that YSTV mailboxes can be read using regular clients or phones from off-campus. At present on-campus works, with this running to completion it's probably worth documenting how to set up external YSTV mail. | Negotiate with IT Services for an external firewall hole, so that YSTV mailboxes can be read using regular clients or phones from off-campus.

Still known as the Easter Refurb, despite that holiday being long gone, the plan was to repaint both studio and control room, re-carpet both and generally make the place look nicer. Sort of a tech project. | Still known as the Easter Refurb, despite that holiday being long gone, the plan was to repaint both studio and control room, re-carpet both and generally make the place look nicer.

Currently Chris Teeling (ZFM) has provisionally agreed to fix our blinds but put the floor etc on hold for a little while due to the potential to move into a new space. It should be noted this is a very early stage, the idea to move was mooted but nobody has said yes in any way shape or form. | Currently Chris Teeling (ZFM) has provisionally agreed to fix our blinds but put the floor etc on hold for a little while due to the potential to move into a new space.

A computer, labelled YSTVOBSTRM is sent out on OBs. When started up it runs a hidden stream back to YSTV, which is "watched" by YSTVOBSTRMRE inside the control room. This is then fed into the [[Technical:Vision_Path]] to either be sent directly to the main stream or inserted into a show. The main advantage is the director/[[Tarantula]] can switch to the OB source at the right time rather than taking down the stream, enabling a continuous channel, along with allowing OBs to insert into live shows. | A computer, labelled YSTVOBSTRM is sent out on OBs.

Currently the receiver needs to detect if a stream is there or not and keep trying, so as soon as one comes up it starts receiving. This may also fix the Live Link Laptop's problems | Currently the receiver needs to detect if a stream is there or not and keep trying, so as soon as one comes up it starts receiving.

Modify the wikis, forums, webmail etc so that if a user is logged into the website, they also maintain that login through the other online services without having to enter more credentials. Also, automatically logging in to the website if your are logged in with your [[Server account]] would be good | Modify the wikis, forums, webmail etc so that if a user is logged into the website, they also maintain that login through the other online services without having to enter more credentials.

== Software Updates == | |||
'''Responsible:''' [[User:greg.ebdon|Greg Ebdon]]/[[User:sam.nicholson|Sam Nicholson]] | |||
'''Status:''' Proposed | |||
Update all the servers to run the latest stable Fedora immediately prior to the summer break, along with updates to the included packages and other software such as this wiki. Currently requires further research as a database upgrade is needed which can be risky and will require some scheduled downtime. | |||

Build an autocue, see [http://ystv.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16 the forum thread] for more detail. | |||
