Project ideas

The idea for this GSoC edition is to release the MVP of this app to the community. So we won't need to add big new features unless it is critical for the app's usage.

Backend + CMS (full features)

Idea Description
search by category title As a user I want to search by category name if category exists I want to select or I can easily add category from search bar, so I could navigate directly to category and see associated sections in it
search by section title As a user I want to search by section name if section exists I want to select or I can easily add section from search bar, so I could navigate directly to section and see associated videos in it
search by video title As a user I want to search by video name if video exists I want to select so I could easily edit video details
search by author name As a user in video edit mode I want to search by author name if author exists I want to select or add new if not exists, so new or existing author can be easily assigned to video. Bear in mind single video can have multiple authors.
machine learning video discovery Machine learning algorithm, which learn about diversity and propose to add them to STEM diverse TV
other videos sources possibly proposition of diverse movies and tv shows trailers, investigate vimeo, etc.
Forgotten password Ability to reset password by email, address
