How to get started
The best way to get involved is to join the email discussion list
You can participate in ´óÏó´«Ã½ Backstage by either building an application or web-based prototype that uses ´óÏó´«Ã½ content or, if you have an idea to use ´óÏó´«Ã½ content in new ways, then write it up, preferably with some designs as to how it could 'work' and share it.
A quick seven step guide to sharing your idea or work:
1. Make sure you are happy with the terms of use of ´óÏó´«Ã½ Backstage
2. Think of an idea to use ´óÏó´«Ã½ content in new ways (if you intend to build something you could always look at the ideas people have suggested)
3. If making something then find the content you want to use
4. Share your idea or prototype with others on backstage.bbc.co.uk (you'll need to host anything you build)
5. If submitting a prototype or design then please include on the site from where you are hosting a text attribution back to ´óÏó´«Ã½ backstage that says "supported by backstage.bbc.co.uk"
6. Tell us about it by submitting your idea or prototype
7. We'll take a look at it and assuming it satisfies all the legal niceties we'll link through to it from backstage.bbc.co.uk
We will be providing a software development kit [SDK] to make your life easier in the near future to coincide with more content coming on stream. In the meantime do let us have your feedback and suggestions on how you would like to see ´óÏó´«Ã½ Backstage move forward via the discussion list.
Enjoy!
