Cool idea of Kei’s today
So in the community call it came up that we should work on a documentation toolkit. My understanding of this, and correct me if I’m wrong @Kei, is that it will be a repository with cool tools to use based on things that could be:
- type of session (maybe keynotes should be videorecorded, workshops documentation works better if it's ),
- preference of the documenter (I prefer writing),
- available tech equipment (video if you have a camera, maybe audio if you walk with a recorder around you etc)
- (visual) templates for reporting etc...
So when someone offers to do documentation, they already have somewhere to look for guidance…no?
And while we keep thinking about this, you girls might also want to consider this idea Matthias had at the conference in Tbilisi, on how more of us can act as ethnographers / community journalists taking on active reporting. This could end up a little messier because it means every other person is a documenter, but a lot of fun if someone takes coordination on board and offers to set up a media corner chasing people around to collect everything during the conference… and then documenters would come together to curate and re-mix their notes, visuals, photos etc. Make it social.
I think if we set ourselves the goal of making this REALLY FUN for the first time in the Lote history, this will be a great achievement and precedent 
what do you think?
