Here's the chat log from after our meeting today on this topic: <Schendje> hmm i really want to make the flickr notes thing happen <Schendje> http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-November/003684.html <Schendje> but i have no idea what the right way would be :) <mizmo> we could talk to the infra guys to see if we could use it on mediawiki <Emichan> if we can't, maybe we could set something up on our fedorahosted space <Schendje> i can make the frontend work myself, but that's it... i don't know where i would save the data <Schendje> ideally it'd be a website where you can paste the url of a hosted image <Schendje> and it'd turn that into a new page with that image and the notes <Emichan> we'd need a server-side data backend definitely <Schendje> oooooo http://evan.nixsyspaus.org/takenote/takenote.php <mizmo> Schendje, good find!! <Schendje> mizmo: it works kind of clumsy though i think? <Schendje> with html spans for everything... not sure <mizmo> yeh its a little weird the interaction <Schendje> of course i could make it all client side <Schendje> (not sure if that's the right word..) <Schendje> simply put all of the info in the url, though that will of course make it ridiculously long :P <Emichan> Schendje it looks like that page is using fotonotes for the annotations <Emichan> and it only saves changes to the local example images - it won't save annotations to remote images <Schendje> yep <Emichan> some kind of server-side code and data is going to be necessary in order to actually save the annotations <Schendje> yes, otherwise they would be php arguments or something... <Schendje> Emichan: i could use php arguments (variables? dunno what they're called) and then run it through a url shortener :D <Schendje> clumsy, but no saving :P <Emichan> Schendje, what kind of url shortening do you have in mind? <Schendje> oh just one of the regular services <Schendje> if you do it automatically, the url won't be huge <Emichan> the problem with that is that those services just map one url to another url - you'll still run into the url character limit <Schendje> there is an url character limit? i didn't even know that O_o <Emichan> it depends on the browser, but my understanding is that 2000 chars is the max you should encode into a url <Emichan> and that might be enough for most photos, but... <Emichan> anyway, since we're not planning on hosting the images, the text won't take up very much space, so it shouldn't be much of a burden to store the annotations on a server ~m _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
