Re: TRA - No Longer Just A Rumor

If you plan to do a picture archive, I really suggest putting a lot of careful thought into the layout of everything.
As well as how you intend for people to find the pictures their looking for.
Just having people tag images, could make things complicated for a person looking for a single specific image and is also kinda messy.
So I have a few suggestions...
Have specific areas on the upload page for people to tag different things.
For instance... If its a picture of the game field during a competition, and you have some robots that are the main focus of the picture. Have a specific box for the uploader to enter the team # of those robots in. But for any robots that may be in the background of the picture, have another box for those to be tagged as well. That ways, when someone does a search for a teams robot, they don't get a bunch of pictures where you can barely see the robot in the background.

Also, have some check boxes for the uploader to select depending on things like what the picture is of, and whats going on in it.
For example... A person is uploading pictures of their team in the stands at competition. The picture has no robots in it, but it does have several team members cheering.
So the person would not select the robot check box, but would click on the competition, and team picture check boxes.
Then when a person is searching for something all they have to do is select where and what the picture was taken of, and enter the proper team number and BAM! You have a lot less unwanted pictures in your search results.

I hope all of that was understandable, I was coming up with ideas while typing
Feel free to PM me if you need anymore clarification on this.
