[Phli-developers] Next real-world developer meeting

[Andreas S. <an...@sa...>]

Jonathan and I were discussing when to have the next developer meeting. 
It currently seems like it'll have to be sometime next week. Any evening 
next week, except Tuesday and Thursday, would work for me.

It'd bee great if we could have a (preliminary) design for the data and 
class model after the meeting and to start splitting the work so we know 
where to start.

So the preliminary agenda would be something like:
* Data model
* Class model
* More use cases
* Maybe some more GUI discussions?
* Who does what

Btw, I spoke to a guy at Update the other day. He was a bit interested in 
Phli and seems to have quite a few good ideas about GUI design. He 
suggested a few design changes to make the software perform better over 
slow links, e g modem or ADSL. The changes mainly involved making a more 
sophisticated server which does the resizing (to allow different thumbnail 
sizes or low-res images for previews) and caches the results. What do you 
think about this? Should we just go ahead with the current plans and make 
sure that backend - frontend separation is good enough to add something 
like this in the future? Or should we try to implement something like this 
in the first release?

Another thing which I think we forgot to talk about during the last 
meeting was how to handle photo albums. The most obvious implementation 
would be to use a tag for an album, but what about order? We could 
implement an index number in the image<->tag relation, but doing this has 
a few pitfalls, mainly when listing the images in multiple tags or parent 
tags.
