roller photogallery
Dear all
I am a level 3 Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate at University
of Moratuwa,Sri Lanka.Currently i have almost finished implementing a
member section at E-channelling (pvt) Ltd which is the market leader of
health care system upon online channel booking system and first listed
company in Colombo stock exchange.I developed this project from the scratch
using STRUTS2 web framework.I am now fairly familiar those areas
passionating specially on JAVA.
I am interested in collaborating on apache roller photogallery.I have listed
up my idea below
Pl comment on that weather my intention is true as expected.
As it is just lacking a photo and file uploading mechanism in roller blog
server, it would be better to have efficient mechanism to upload photos and
files. The cream of having such a mechanism in point of roller view is it
would support the roller users(web logger users ) in a convenient and
interesting way than it is used to be as playing with images , photos ,and
documents may inspire the user.
The intention of this project is to create such a attractive interface for
uploading images while browsing, searching uploaded files. Further it would
allow any images to be changed, resized , edit etc.
The top most interface of this photogallery should be attractive covering
primary functionalities (uploading photos , images ,files ,etc) and browsing
or searching those previously uploaded stuff*. *This interface also supply
the images with resizing facility or editing facility while allowing pre
stored images view in thumbnail mode.
I am really passionate with struts2 framework, So I hope it
would not be difficult for me to integrate my logics with the server side
implementation after extracting the flavour of Roller's Struts 2 action
infrastructure.
Regards
hala

The most basic features would IMHO be crop and resize.
While creating an entry, a user should be able to directy upload one or
many images and use them in his blog entry without entering an image url
by hand.
I would like to see an interface where I cut plug-in my code for that.

No. What kind of features would a plugin for "photo stuff" support?
There is a FileManager interface that can serve as a plugin point but
it does nothing special for files of type "photo"

Yes, I agree with that. Resize, crop and rotate features are nice to
have but they are not the priority at all. I think that the priority
is having a good upload interface, ability to browse uploaded images
easily and then tools for including images/files in blog entries.

Imho, "playing with images, photos, and documents" is not primary goal for
rollers file upload service.
Usability of uploaded files management process is the most important
feature.

If this project intend to be a part of GSoC, see:

Roller is a blog. It is not graphical editor!
