roller-photogallery
Hi, Dave!
I'm interested in the GSoC roller-photogallery project idea.
I have an expirience of design UI and Java Web development expirience
(JSP, Servlets, Struts 2, HTML/XHTML, CSS, semantic and cross-browser
making-up, graphic tools).
I have some thoughts about user frendly interface for file upload service
in roller.
What is the main criteria for application?

I draw out my vision of UI instead of "figure out".

May be folder with zoom thumbinails is better than pages?

imho, link like this <a href="some_url">Copy file URL</a> is better.
And that is my vision: http://konnikov.net/GSoC/2008/uploads.jpg

I imagine that a gallery for the uploaded image files should has the
following options into the interface:
miniatures size: [ small | medium | big ]
miniatures per page: [ __ ]
< previous page > < next page >
go to page: [ select a page nº ]
( show | hide ) filename
The image location may be important if the file will be used into the
weblog or in an external webpage. Then why not add a text input for
each path:
[ ../resource/folder_name/image_file.img ]
[ http://www.site.moon/weblog_name/resource/folder_name/image_file.img ]
so the image location can easily be copied to be used into a weblog
entry or into an external webpage.

Ease of use is probably the most important requirement. The idea is to
make significant improvements to the interface to make it easier for
folks to upload, browse and blog uploaded files. Most users don't have
that many uploads, so if we have good browse then search is less
important. Metadata is also less important than ease of use, at least
in my mind. You'll need to figure out which features are most
important and we'll help you to do that.

Implementation of _all_ features ("page through file uploads", "search",
"thumbnail images", "folder creation user interface", "store metadata for
each file")
or usability of "whole new interface"?
"search" feature is very important?

It sounds like you have have the right experience for this project,
but I'm not sure what you mean by main criterial for the application.
You mean the most important requirement for the new feature? The most
important characteristic of the GSoC developer?
