In an ideal world, people would be able to login using the FAS and have their rights provided by FAS (this *may* be possible, AFAIK Gallery2 is integrated for authentication with all finds of forum and portal software); - is not easy to mass upload, the only way in our instance is tu upload ZIPs of all your files. There are alternate ways, like using WebDAV, but our install does not have the plugin; - speaking of plugins, there are only a few available, we lack some for things like layout customization. I wonder if we should try to act as admins and install plugins as we like (well, it impossible anyway without direct access to the server) or consult with the Infrastructure people (a saner, but more bureaucratic approach); - some operations are cumbersome: for example adding keywords and browsing based on keywords. I wonder if installing some plugins would make for a better experience; - I don't see a way to browse for things like 'best rated' and I wonder again: we need plugins? Normally I would have asked for other people opinions, but I see only very few of us played with the gallery, which make me doubt it is a popular/useful/wanted feature (but deep inside I still think a gallery would be good for us). -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/_______________________________________________design-team mailing listdesign-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
