I'm the one that has to thank all of you for the patience. I'm sure many of these arguments get repeated ad infinitum because people like me post before reading all the available info on the wiki... But lets recap this: - The duplicate file finder is one good solution, as on my side it implies that instead of maintaining a shared resource I maintain a shared repository, nothing troublesome. When can I expect to see that in action? - The shared code goes the same route as above. - The images bundled are art done by kids on the MaMaMedia site. They are examples and can be trimmed down considerably, but they are also reasons to be proud for the kids that did them, so I guess that if we can keep the whole bunch, we will. The fact that they are local and exclusive to each activity does not make me happy, as they are assets for the kids, and should be in a public library. More so, the kids should choose to keep them or not, so some kind of datastore support for this would be wonderful. - Being able to open images on a thumb drive may very well be a non issue after drag n drop is supported by the activity. I'm assuming some kind of tab will appear in the Journal for removable media. - Searching for categorized/tagged media would be great. This would allow us to keep the categorized view of images, but that may not be a good thing, according to Eben. I'm really sleepy and need to go to bed, now :) All in all, I guess I need to play a little with the datastore before I point my finger, but this has been very helpful, and I'll have a lot to discuss with the good people at World Wide Workshop, as this changes many of the targets we've been aiming for.
