Another idea. BTW, will everybody be working on the same problem or different problems? Anyways, I am just putting forward programs that I have felt a need for. Others might not find them interesting :P
Title: Web Gallery Skill set required: web programming languages (php/perl/java?), html, css, javascript, would you need mysql?, and apache. Description: Develop a photo gallery software to host pictures from your computer. a) Need: There are many web gallery like softwares already available but they lack in one essential way: they assume that the pictures are uploaded elsewhere on some other software. I house pictures locally and want to share them from my PC (which is always connected to the internet). The pictures I have already amount to more than 70 gigs and I do not want to replicate them by "uploading" them through the software interface (which is what most existing softwares do). I do not wish to upload [at most] 10 pictures at a time. b) Features: The minimum feature set required is the ability to create an album (via an online or an offline meachanism -- since it is hosted on a pc where direct access is available). Ability to browse through the pics (thumbnails?), see the picture in a big (appropriate) size, or get the original image. Add ons: Slideshow? Add ons: Ability to leave comments? c) Compatibility: Must at least work with firefox. Chrome and IE are optional. Sharad -- LUG@IITD - http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
