Visual Story Database
I'm thinking that a hyperlink database that would allow us to profile not only product and strategies as Clyde has produced but also a profile of any group, ministry, production company that has product or strategies could list them under their 'organizational' template that could list any product or strategy under their org. template. That way information could be listed both ways and make it easy to inventory what everyone has available in the way of 'visual story' content and make it easy to navigate between product and strategy and who has produced them and what else they may have available. That way for instance you could find 'Beyond the Gates' but click on Bearing Fruit and discover what other product they have and also their new visual story web experience. This would also be a great incentive for new groups to join and keep the database updated with new content...Thoughts?

Very possible. A simple database design. Simple interface, either view by project or by organization. Could even do an interactive sort list. For example: look at all projects (alphabetically for example) then sort the list by organization, then by length of product, etc.
Big question, is this a soution to a rproblem that exists? - mz
Mike I think it is one of the clear objectives we had set for ourselves to share best practices and share them with a global community. Right now it is difficult to identify where to find Biblical worldview visual stories, organizations and strategies. By consolidating and eventually creating an open source depository we can help the movement grow...
I think we can do this when we have critical mass, lets say 30-40 entries. We should have this in the next 4 months.
We may want to partner with someone who has the technology. Or is there an easy technology solution to this Mike?
I think we need to make it accessible through the Internet right away so that we can all see the data. There are several lost cost solutions that we can use.
