I have a lot of computer problems and I am not sure where to begin. I am not going to go into detail because the problems I have could be solved in lots of different ways, and I need a best solution and not a particular solution. If you know the field for any of these problems then contact me.
- I need social surveying software. It needs to be free or cheap because I need to put it on a lot of computers owned by a lot of organizations in India, and they cannot pay all pay for licensing. It needs to support non-Roman font and not be online. I last surveyed my choices in 2009 and could not find an appropriate solution.
- I need help subtitling videos. I have videos which already have soft English-language subtitles, and I have translations of the subtitles, so I need help re-mastering dvds to add another language to the options. Subtitles work by reading a text file marked with times; I have these. I could do this myself, but I really want advice about best practices because if I go to the trouble, then I want to do it correctly.
- I need advice about best practices for uploading pictures with GPS data. All of the pictures will be Creative Commons licensed to the public for any purpose. If there is anyone who does this a lot then talk to me.
- I use LibraryThing but I need software in a box for managing a library. It would be awesome for people to be able to create accounts and check out books, and for us to receive notices about who has what.
- I need graphic design lessons. I need to make simple vector art, mostly labeling points on vector maps, and I need advice about doing this the right way. I am just being lazy about this because I know lots of people who could teach me.
