Oh man. So I was thinking, hmm, maybe we could write a python script that would modify the deviantart RSS feed to add the thumbnails, but looking at the thumbnail URLs there isn't a way to do that from the guid. *However* I did find this: http://www.microugly.com/page/blogs/da-faves-on-your-site/ Seems hacky though, if dA changes things around it would break. Although this article does mention that dA 'pasties' include thumbnails if you have a paid account... hmm.... > - for hosting: not everybody has his own hosting solution, is willing to > pay for one and all free services are less then perfect.

This is an interesting observation. I don't see why we couldn't do both. :) I set up a page to try to capture all this discussion: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/Communication As noted on the page from the discussions we had on the infrastructure list, it seems that to move forward, we need to: * Formally define our requirements * File an RFR (request for resources) with the infrastructure team once we work out our requirements. I took a quick stab at a requirements list: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/Communication#head-d5fb254365e4065b55a41bf5adabfe5681b97f55 What do you think? Am I missing anything? Disagree with the priority of any of the items? It's on the wiki, so feel free to discuss and modify. :) It may just be that we discuss this with the Infrastructure Team and find out they might not have time for a while, so we stick with say DeviantArt or Flickr and just have a planet feed of our artwork for now, and later on the Infrastructure Team might help us build out what we need. Or maybe they'd have time now. So I think moving forward we'll either end up in one of those two scenarios. If we end up in the first one though we'll need to decide what system we want to go with in the meantime. ~m _______________________________________________ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
