Ever since initially discussing this with paour & bharat when I first got involved with gallery - I have been (and will remain) interested in being involved and helping with this process. Sadly my time is too limited to go at it alone... but I'd love to help. > The proposed full scope of our project is: > > -some sort of remote protocol, probably using XMLRPC > or SOAP but we'll do some in depth research first to > see if there are any other options and which one is > the way to go. I've recommended using XMLRPC a couple times - the main reason being KISS. A good start (IMO) would be to have a look through http://www.flickr.com/services/api/ But, the easier the API is to understand and implement - the higher the adoption rate. > -mDNS responder module for dynamic service discovery > of Gallery installs on a broadcast reachable subnet > (most likely using > http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/rendezvous/) I can't believe I've been yammering on about this for the netjuke project (DAAP) and completely forgot about DPAP. I think that's an awesome idea. > -Client application for > PocketPC/WindowsCE/WindowsMobile for browsing and > adding items to a Gallery, automatically finding > Gallery installs on the lan. so rad. of course - iPhoto is what I'm most interested in ;) > -possible WindowsXP publishing wizard, iPhoto plugin, > and maybe something native to Linux, all of which > would use the new protocol. Again - have a look at Fraser Spiers' Flickr Export plugin for iPhoto : http://www.speirs.org/flickrexport/ it's BSD licensed, and I think would make a good base. > There should be a website and formal plan for this > sometime next week, and I'll pass that information > along to the list.
