Hi, I'm the creator and admin of screenshots.debian.net. I've already worked with Michael Vogt to get screenshot support running in Synaptic which I think is a great feature.
I'll be happy to help you brand screenshots.debian.net to make it more ubuntu-ish. Let me know which way you prefer. (1) Should a missing screenshot return a dummy image? Or no image but just a 404 response? The dummy image has the big advantage to trivially integrate into any website by just using an IMG-SRC tag and always getting a valid image back. (2) I could offer some kind of machine-readable information per package. Like a JSON response that would help you figure out if a certain screenshot is available and what its URLs are. (3) Could you provide me with a dummy placeholder sized 160x120 (for the small thumbnail) and 800x600 (for the actual large screenshot)? (4) As you can see on http://screenshots.debian.net/ ("Using our screenshots") there are a few URLs that can be used to retrieve screenshots and thumbnails. Any special preference on how the URLs for Ubuntu could look? I could imagine http://screenshots.debian.net/thumbnail/PACKAGENAME/ubuntu or http://screenshots.debian.net/thumbnail-ubuntu/PACKAGENAME instead of http://screenshots.debian.net/thumbnail/PACKAGENAME and http://screenshots.debian.net/screenshot/PACKAGENAME/ubuntu or http://screenshots.debian.net/screenshot-ubuntu/PACKAGENAME instead of http://screenshots.debian.net/screenshot/PACKAGENAME I'd appreciate a CC to [email protected] in case I miss any updated on this bug report.
