I don't like the current screenshot page that much either. For the new web page we decided to convert all "old" pages to the new layout first and make some changes afterwards. For the screenshot page it is planned to split the current page in pages containing only a few shots, say five, to minimize download times. There will be some more information about the shot like you say. I thought about providing a php-template file which describes the shot like: $author = "Name"; $date = "24.04.2003"; $email = ... This template needs to be filled out by the author of a shot and send it together with the shot to fvwm-workers. Rating requires the ability to write data on the web server. This is not implemented yet. We need to discuss this regarding to space and security issues. We also need a good concept which avoids that a shot is rated serveral times by the same person. But I like the idea maybe we can set it up. > As well, there could be a submission form for screenshots, which > would make it easier for Dan to sort out the good from the bad. The submission requires the ability to upload files to the web server. This may also lead to space and security problems. Maybe we can set up a web form which generates the php file to be attached to the shot to make it easier to place a shot on the page. Thanks hints.
