Hi everyone, First of all, I would like to introduce myself to the community. I am Umashanthi, a Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate, who is passionate about open source development, especially the Apache way. I found the PhotArk project interesting because of my interest in web application development.
While exploring the PhotArk application I felt that adding social features to PhotArk would be ideal to cater for users who require such features and make the application more popular. As you all know currently the web is becoming more social and I feel adding OpenSocial features to PhotArk will make it more suitable for users. For those who are new to OpenSocial [1]- [3] , provide the basic details. In simple words, opensocial is about relationships(friends, followers etc), activities(adding new albums, tagging etc) and appdata( application data), like the features available in social networking sites. Making PhotArk fully social compatible might be a lengthy process. But in my opinion we can start with basic features and then can build upon it. This is my idea and I would like to know your valuable suggestions. If required, I can do some initial research regarding this. Looking forward to hear your valuable thoughts..
