FM&T will help to transform the way the ´óÏó´«Ã½ produces content through the Digital Media Initiative and by phasing out the need for tape.

Today's Pic Of The Day is of a big ´óÏó´«Ã½ initiative: so big, in fact, that we've included Nick Reynolds in the pic to give a sense of scale of the large poster that overlooks our workspace.

It's the Digital Media Initiative and it will inform almost everything we're going to be covering on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Internet Blog.

The ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Chief Information Officer, Keith Little, explains more in a :

Born out of a proof-of-concept project, "One Vision", at the Natural History Unit in Bristol, the aim is to digitise every aspect of the creative process, cutting the 70 or so individual processes which go into making a typical programme by 50 per cent and giving unprecedented access to the storehouse of content not only to staff but to the public.

    This seems like a brilliant idea, allowing for rapid and dynamic development in a large number of sectors.

    I guess this is the type of thing you've been doing with the Torchwood game, lots of small websites and projects bolted together in a day or so by several teams.

    I'm pleased that more content will be digitalised and at everyone's disposal. That sounds great. But by the way what's happened to the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Programme Catalogue? That's a great resource but it's been out of action for ages! It's almost a ´óÏó´«Ã½ Wiki without the wiki. Bring it back!
