We're looking for a few good developers to help extend the multimedia capabilities of Plone. Our immediate goal is to get a 1.2 release of Plone4ArtistsVideo and Plone4ArtistsAudio products out. We also need folks who can test and write documentation. If you'd like to join the Plone4Artists/multimedia sprint team, please add your name to the participants list.

Here's a list of tasks:

Audio

• Documentation:
  
• update README file
• Make screencast (see existing screencast)
  
• Create a guided tour using Amberjack or Flowgram
  
• Improve templates (requires HTML/CSS and preferably ZPT knowledge)
