Public bug reported:
Right now, the LD requires a username to pull images from flickr. This
means that either:
1) Only one person's flickr photos can be shown on the team's homepage
or
2) People have to upload their photos to a shared flickr account thereby:
A) Losing all correct attribution/copyright information (who took the photo
and holds the copyright), without adding text to the description which is ugly
and isn't noticed by automatic crawlers of flickr. Also, this makes it harder
for people to specific the license they want for their own photos.
B) The account credentials must be shared with *everyone* who took photos.
Not safe. Or, the photos have to be sent to someone to upload them on behalf of
another person. Not easy/nice.
Instead of either of those, we should point to a flickr Group.
http://www.flickr.com/groups/ (visit that page when not logged in to get
the overview). That group should be a group that the LoCo team created
for the purpose of sharing LoCo related photos on flickr. That is what
they (groups) were made for.
