Re: [ubuntu-art] Flickr is the best interim Image Repository
We could also use spreadubuntu.org engine, I think the only thing it lacks is explicit linking to images on which a work is based, but that doesn't seem that hard to add. I don't think openclipart.org-like "remix button" approach is a good idea. An image can be based on several works, all of them must be credited as sources, and openclipart.org doesn't allow that. Moreover, a "remix" button would be useful if it would open an image editor, and then it would upload the result to the website; now it just uploads an already finished remix - it should be called "upload your remix" and it's absolutely useless, IMO. And one more thing to consider: we'll have to deal with external sources of images a lot. Yes, remixing content from our website is good, but externaly stored images (photos from Flickr, SVGs from OCAL, all kinds of stuff from DeviantArt etc.) will be heavily used as well, and we should provide an easy way to mark an image stored *anywhere* as a base for one's work. I guess the best way to link images is just a couple of URL input field to pages containing the images used in one's work. URLs leading to our website should be recognized and (maybe) handled like in AIKI/OCAL.

I think these 2 are show-stoppers. I'm in favor of using http://art.ubuntu-owl.org/ for submissions. At least if they are to be archived. Otherwise, foopics.com, dropbox or ubuntu-one may suffice. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

[ubuntu-art] Flickr is the best interim Image Repository
Hello Everyone, Realizing in the long term we will adopt something which satisfies our unique requirements, I’ve been experimenting with the tools at hand for a solution which I believe will serve our needs now. IMO the current tool set mix should be the mailing list, Wiki, Launchpad, and Flickr. What I like about Flickr as an image repository. • Very mature and well accepted by artist world-wide. Participants may receive recognition for their work beyond the boundaries of Ubuntu (viz. whats interesting). • Precedence. The Canonical Design Team uses this tool for supplemental wallpapers and you cannot argue the numbers. • Supports a wide range of image formats. • Supports Grouping of images by subject matter. • Supports Group discussions. • Supports submission comments and critiques. • Supports slide shows. • Supports multiple roles. • Supports image tags. What I don’t like about Flickr. • File size limitation on “free” accounts. • Poor/no support for “svg” format. • No ability to create a group consisting of subgroups. • Groups are difficult to delete. As UDS is over we are currently in the official development cycle of Natty and my impression is our long term solution may takes months to create, test, and release. So let’s not rush it to get it right. My guess is folks are ready to create artwork. :) Thoughts, John -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
