No news. I think we should take up a collection and hire somebody. I know a reliable PHP guy from Rentacoder.com who’s done a few projects for me. I’ll send him a bid request and see what this would cost, and if he’s interested.
Then I guess I’ll set up a paypal fund and see if we can raise the money (because I’m strapped).
I was impressed at how seamless it was. Personally I’m nervous about being responsible for people’s personal photos, especially when Flickr and Picasa do such a nice job of it for free. That module made me realize It’s better to have a good “glue” module than an excellent standalone “gallery”.
@Zenseeker, I tried wp-classifieds and Classipress and both left much to be desired. No worries, I have a nice jQuery/ajaxy theme I may be able to ransom off to get what I need.
I wonder how tough it would be to use the same “Add Media” buttons that WordPress uses for it’s Quickpress thing. That seems like the ideal solution to me.
And a “post to wire” bookmarklet, same as the WordPress “Press This” but with a Friends selector. Hmmm
1. better taxonomy with separate vocabularies (think Drupal). For example if there’s a profile field called “home town” and the user enters New York, NY, that would link to a list of other people who’s hometown is New York, NY (instead of doing a sitewide search for everything containing “New York”)
2. some type of user role system with different permissions for each role, and different profile fields per role (business, typical user, whatever)
3. ability to comment on Activity posts (like Facebook, though I assume this is already in the pipeline)
4. total integration with Picassa and Flickr ( check out what this guy’s been doing with the 6.x version of this: http://drupal.org/project/picasa . It’s the best sort of photo management for a CMS I’ve come across )
