@ashley Any thoughts on creating a schoolofimagemagick page? ffmproviser is getting pretty long and harder to navigate. Also, a CRALS, ffmpro, im, etc webring would be very magical.

@ashley Now I'm stuck thinking about other tools that could benefit from the ffmproviser treatment. Pandas? Siegfried? Droid?

@ashley and duh, of course there's a webring started in the intro of ffmpro

@ashley Think I found a good topic (git), expect some messages about how the ffmproviser code works

@nkrabben All this being said, I would welcome an additional section or dedicated page within ffmprovisr, and CRALS would probably be happy to include a whole section too, and I'd be happy to link to your own if you decide to go that route!

@nkrabben We are actively doing this in ffmprovisr!

@nkrabben @ron The discussion grew to be quite large -- https://github.com/amiaopensource/ffmprovisr/issues/310

More opinions welcome!

I added ImageMagick commands in a new section at the bottom, although I do think we may push to move them onto individual pages, or even one individual page with "everything that isn't ffmprovisr"

@ron @nkrabben I originally made imagemagicktricks.html but decided it wasn't worth a single pages if itw as only a few commands. I'm the only one making PRs to it right now so I didn't want to start an initiative if it'll be me working solo.

@nkrabben @ron Selfishly want a mini hackathon to teach people Git practices but also add to this document in a quicker way!!

@ron @nkrabben Pushing Andrew W. and Kieran OL. to write intros to sox and exiftool respectively.

@ron Oh wow!!! Not even -- it's just a low-tech .html page. Intentionally, so people unfamiliar with web tech can just open up the index.html and not have to used the command line or run a server to test and make changes.

@ron We just had a discussion in the issues about boosting it up but the consensus seems to be (and hope I wasn't overstepping as former implied BDFL) that it wasn't worth giving that up https://github.com/amiaopensource/ffmprovisr/issues/309

@ashley Oh I see. I guess that kind of makes sense (but it is a command line tool 😜 )

@ron ahhhh, yeah maybe I mean more like webdev and server running. A whole lot of digipres folks are at like cp/paste-and-try-it level, the "I know enough to be dangerous :)" level, and don't know git or html very well

@ashley Just joking around. That's pretty much where I am :)

@ron Haha valid point though!!! I think it helps lower the "patience" barrier more than anything. Open file vs the risk of not being able to run `python -m SimpleHTTPServer` because python isn't symlinked, or installed, etc etc

@ashley Yep, there's always a thousand things that can go wrong. Simple html does really make sense. I hope to read through it soon. I'm pretty much a copy/paste level with FFMPEG. Understanding things like streams and stuff would be super cool. Have spent time on the official wiki page but it seemed way less beginner friendly that what you all have created.

@ron A/VAA is a similar resource and it's Jekyll :D I love it https://bavc.github.io/avaa/

@ron As for Python, there are some good guides out there already, even for GLAM, I think? So I'd be interested in something that is like a collection of useful Python one-liners (or only-a-few-liners) that fit the ffmprovisr format!

@ashley Ok, I guess I forgot about the verbosity factor. :)

@ron You know I would really like to put some sort of intro to programming thing together for http://training.ashleyblewer.com thoughhhh... hmmmmmm

@ashley How about #vapoursynth code snippets? It's python based. I just stumbled on it looking for a Linux alternative to AVISynth. (Have been waxing nostalgic this morning thinking about AVISynth and Virtualdub)

@ron ooooooo I will look at this
