We are looking for people who are interested in using our alpha application. Actually, it has the stability/useability of a good beta (it's rock solid) but we are calling it an alpha because it doesn't have an installer. It comes as an executable jar and you "bring your own jre 1.4" :)
In a nutshell, the application is like Ofoto/photopoint running on your pc. It has a pure web interface and allows you to compose photo albums and then vend them out over your broadband internet connection. The interface is very simple and the application is easy to use. The application is written in Tapestry/Jetty. What you get for participating in Beta: -Access to the application and all of its descendants and upgrades for free (forever). It should be pretty useable in its current state (the authors are using it). -Help the Tapestry/Jetty community by helping to debug a Tapestry/Jetty application. -Access to the techniques employed in the application. The application is *not* open source at this time, although it will most likely go open source eventually. However, if a beta user sees something in the application that they would like to use in their own application, we will show how we did it (not that we are doing anything super sophisticated at this point). What we need from users at this point: - you should have a genuine interest in digital photography and sharing digital photo albums - you need an always on broadband internet connection that is addressable from the internet; that is, it accepts incoming http connections. If anyone in the Tapestry community is interested, please mail me at this address. Joseph Panico [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------The following is a little marketing propaganda that we have whipped up-------------- Pixory is in the vanguard of a new paradigm for image storage and sharing-- the personal image server. This single application turns your personal computer into a platform for storing, composing and sharing digital photos and albums over the internet. You no longer need to suffer the hassles of emailing picture attachments, or the costs and limitations of online photo sharing services. With Pixory and an always-on broadband internet connection (cable modem or DSL) your personal computer becomes your personal online photo sharing service. You and your friends and family can access all of the functionality of your personal image server from anywhere on the internet, using a standard web browser. There is no need to fuss with installing specialized softare. Best of all, Pixory is incredibly simple to use, requiring no expertise in image manipulation programs such as Adobe Photoshop (tm), setting up web servers, or generating html. Pixory does everything automatically-- just drop your photos into a standard filesystem directory, optionally add captions and text, and you are ready to share your album with the world. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Stuff, things, and much much more. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Tapestry-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tapestry-developer
