Scald
Scald is a different take on how to handle media (audio, video, image or otherwise) in Drupal and beyond. it is a platform which is designed to make it extremely easy to implement the social features which are so essential -- and so unique -- to web communities. Additionally, Scald -- in tandem with the DnD module -- provides a novel and natural way for users to compose complex posts. Scald is Content, Attribution, Licensing, and Distribution (or Scald is a Contrived Acronym by Lazy Developers, take your pick). Scald provides a standardized mechanism for manipulating various types of media. Users can specify licensing on their uploaded media, re-use it for themselves, offer it to others for re-use and track all of those interactions without interfering with any other Drupal functionality.
Development supported in part by the Chicago Technology Cooperative.
Vocalo.org is a production site running a precursor to Scald.
A developer release will be available soon.
