- No synchronisation with Hansard (captions)

- Individual videos not bookmarkable (understandable, given that they're only "available for approximately one month")

- No MediaRSS feed?

Other common accessibility issues with Flash-based content occurring:

- Keyboard navigation prevented

- Links to from video pages to previous broadcasts and associated Hansard transcripts are available only via Flash

  1. I'm not sure if this is possible a duplicate of #43, which discussed historical australian footage. Certainly, if they get deleted after a month, the parliamentary videos will never get to become "historical" ;)

  3. You should be aware that aph is going through a revamp. It's still early days, but hopefully the agimo guys will be aggregating all these kinds of suggestions, so roxanne doesn't get overloaded.

    I'l mention one thing which is going to so important with helping them get their network organized so that it can handle both the broadcast of past sessions as well as the capture of live sessions as they occur.

    There's quite a lot of work going on in this space. This is the t.o.p. in the edu area. http://www.opencastproject.org/project/matterhorn

    The demands for just doing this "in house(s)" are very different than when committees go on the road, or want to stream live to (say) the a-pac cable channel. And the place where the archive will be kept is going to place new (and large) demands on their servers. They will, for example, have to consider whether they keep it at a place like http://pandora.nla.gov.au/about.html > so they can become "historical".

    Hopefully these considerations will be made before the aph "website" is rejiggered. because it's getting boring watching all the discussion about web2-whatever, while the primary factor (the network in which a IP address sits) is never mentioned.
