See https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/developers and
https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/api+reference which provides a place for
developers to start on this.
I'm trying to use Digikam to establish a photo processing workflow entirely
based on open source software.
On the input/import end, I'm using OsmAnd on Android to collect GPS tracks,
OpenCamera on Android to take photos. Then I use Digikam to GPS correlate
tracks & photos from my discrete camera (and also to supplement Android photos
with DOP values from the OsmAnd tracks, which the Android platform doesn't yet
support recording in EXIF natively). Currently, I do all other editing & photo
processing within Digikam.
For exporting, I typically publish (currently via batch uploads of files
through the web interfaces of each platform) to five different target
platforms: Strava (a group for stewards of our local wilderness trail),
Facebook (valuable to support discussions with a broader community not on other
platforms), Flickr (mostly as fairly large, "free" cloud storage), Wordpress
(self-hosted), and iNaturalist. Anything I can do to automate / optimize / cut
out redundancy in my workflow would greatly improve life for me.
A significant barrier in this workflow to uploading efficiently to the
iNaturalist platform is submissions through their web interface of large photo
sets. In Chromium, it is necessary to partition sets of greater than about 30
photos at a time into subsets, otherwise my Atom-based workstation with 8G RAM
runs out of memory to handle the page. Integration with Digikam done properly
would likely help with this.
The main feature request & other useful features all sound like things that
would help me too. I'd love to see something started, and then those additional
requests filed as separate wishlists once work is underway.
As a professional software developer, primarily in Ruby these days, but with
some proficiency in other languages, and also as a Debian developer of some
years, helping develop an iNaturalist export extension for digikam is certainly
something I'd be interested in exploring. I must caution, though, that I have
no KDE development experience. I don't think that's a huge barrier to me making
some sort of contribution, but it probably rules me out as being a driver for
this effort.
