[Image-tools] Stellar Images presentation

[Ben Brophy]

Hello,

I really enjoyed the conversation at the Stellar Images presentation 
last Tuesday. Thank you, Jean for organizing the series. The next day 
my colleague Mark Brown and I met with some developers at UC Berkeley 
who are also starting work on another image presentation tool - it's 
really an exciting area to work right now.

Here are some points I heard:

     * In the gather images view, when getting results form the search 
results from the repository, there needs to be an option to view just 
the thumbnails as in a lightbox, in addition to the current image + 
details view.
     * Including Flickr
     * Including 'folksonomic' tagging
     * Including video as well as still images (open-video.org was 
referenced as an example)
     * Letting people add their own images and video
     * Searching by image resolution
     * Boolean searches

All of this is added to our notes so we can use them in developing the 
requirements for future development. Was there something you wanted to 
add? Let me know.

Here is the web address where you can find the working draft of the 
functional specifications, and the mockups I demonstrated in class.

All the best,
