Hi All,
I haven't forgotten about wanting to create an open source Photo
Gallery and there has been some sporadic interest as I have discussed
it. A quick update as to where we are at for anyone who is interested.
1. Name change....
No one but me knows where the name Caitrin came from and it isn't
obvious what the software would do. A proposed solution (thanks Noel
for the path suggestion) would be PhosLibrarius
2. Code Bases
There are 2 code bases that we can draw from and discard that I have
heard of. Always a good start
3. Design
Right now thought is being put into the high level design to improve
the Proposal. The current proposal is bad. I take credit for that
because I haven't done the Apache thing before and I am tripping all
over while trying to stay on the right path. The current thought is
to defiantly write the application in Java. Its secure, it scales
well, we like it. The thought is to look into Sling and the JCR as
well as different databases. I have to do reading on Sling to figure
out how it all fits together. Pretty much, we are focusing on the
back end first with the possibility of a Web service for the front
end to start. This lets anyone out there write nice pretty display
pieces. I like AJAX as a front end but others who I have talked to
don't. We can agree on the Web service for right now.
If anyone has anything that they would like to contribute or if you
have comments/suggestions about this proposal please let me
know. The interest seems to be lurking out there, we just need to
get it organized.
Thanks,
Angie
