Roots Archives Forum

Hi all,

I have an idea for Internet project regarding [this](http://mvdb2b.com/s/DeepRootsMusic3Mone ... ms/EDGE51D) great reggae documentary and I wandering if anybody would be interested:

There are so many reggae artists and studio performances but usually without much information about who, where, what - no artist name titles, song information etc. Maybe some info is in commentary, but hard to understand anyway without subtitles (patois is little bit difficult for non-english-native-speakers).

So, I would like to create website with Google docs forms based questionnaires where reggae-heads could tag artists, songs or places and then search through database to know where particular artist is presented and what song is he/she performing. And of course creation of subtitles would be also great task.

There is full footage on youtube so anybody could contribute and its even with production on screen timer there which could be great for global timing.

As far as I was able to search through the reviews there are no subtitles or info on artists in DVD release.… right?

So please let me know It would be fun to program the project web

The interesting thing about this is that someone once did a similar thing on the B&F forum. Been trying to find that thread for the longest time but to no avail. But they had pictures of all artist and ID them. It was quite useful.

@Caucasian: Excellent idea. I'd be happy to contribute wherever I could!

@Kalcidis: Really? That would be great information to have. Maybe it could be used to help populate Caucasian's project once it gets going. Good luck on finding the thread.. I'll do some searching myself.

I'd be happy to contribute.

Hey, whats the latest on this ambitious (and rightly so) project???

Hi Jahsteppa,
thanx for interest. I have started to develop the web interface so far, but currently I have not much time these days. Let´s not put the deadline too tight I would be happy to to start the project in few moths... so stay tuned.
