Re: CD-Media Progress

I've made some progress on CD-Media, so I thought I'd tell those who were interested (that's you, huh?).

The import scripts are all finished, I believe. They generate thumbnails (2 per picture), and pull over the white papers files, too. The thumbnail script took several hours to run (on over 10,000 images!).

I've had some spare time the past two or three evenings (what?!) and was able to do a bunch of work on the tagging and tagging moderation interfaces. You are now able to add tags to white papers only (for now)both papers and photos. Once added, your peers can vote on these tags. Once there is a unanimous decision (3 for, or 3 against) the voting ends. If there are a few, and a few against .. majority rules after 7 days of voting. Once a tag is added, you may choose to remove it (it starts the voting process with an 'against' from you). Play around with it -- it's far from being done, but it's more functional than not. Anything in square brackets ([vote], [add tag], etc) is temporary and will probably be replaced with a graphic or something more pretty.

Now with a few tags in the system, you can see how easy things like finding the Chairman's Award documents or FLL documents can be.

The upload pages don't work yet. The photo one gets to the part where you choose an image, and that's it. I needed to get the thumbnail generation stuff done first, and got sidetracked by the import scripts.

I've started to add a few items to the FAQ about tagging as well. It's not done, it's not final, etc., etc.

So -- There are bugs, I guarantee. It's ugly, for now. Some of it is kind of working, though. Give it a try; this is just test data, cleared out & reset randomly. Feedback is welcome.

Oh, when adding tags, you can put more than one per line. Any multi-worded tags (like "Dean Kamen") should be enclosed in double quotes.
