=== Website rebuild ===
'''Responsible:''' [[hist:Rhys Milling] and [[hist:Ben Allen]]


== Continuous Channel/Scheduling Engine ==
'''Status:''' In progress
'''Responsible:''' [[User:sam.nicholson|Sam Nicholson]]


'''Status:''' Deployed, albeit still probably buggy, many outstanding feature requests.
The old website is a rather difficult php site with very little in terms of an API. The rebuild is an attempt to both separate the site into components (front, back, api, auth and special pages) and make the site more easy to build upon in the future.


Write a scheduling and automation tool to allow the Scheduler to come up with shows, and autofill idents, trailers and graphical overlays to make us more like a "real" TV channel. Known as [[Tarantula]].
=== Archive Server ===
'''Responsible:''' [[hist:Connor Sanders]]


Update 28/05/2013: Now working enough to be used, tracked at [https://ystv.co.uk/trac/Tarantula]. Won the 2013 NaSTA Technical award.
'''Status:''' In heavy development
Update 16/10/2013: Deploying now.


Write an interface to the Archive server to search for items by name or tag, and retrieve them either by download or to a network drive.


== Archive Server ==
Update 03/08/2021: This is under major rebuild. Previous system has been gone for some time and new method will be a more general archive to link between any and all resources we have.
'''Responsible:''' None (stalled)
 
'''Status:''' Part working, see [http://ystvvault.york.ac.uk http://ystvvault.york.ac.uk]

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.
