I can't believe I haven't started a dedicated thread on this before now!! I wanted to open a discussion on the Planetary Society's plans to develop a website called AmateurSpaceImages.com, a place that will collect amateur-processed space images into one place that is easy to browse and search for great pictures, and from which you'll be able to share them easily via social networks. The organization of the site will be based on Photojournal, which is itself based on the way the PDS structures space data -- all images will be filed under the "target" and "mission" and "instrument," plus there will be image titles, captions, and correct credits; plus there'll be tags and a search feature. The site is currently under development and is planned for launch early next year (hopefully March, if the schedule doesn't slip). We're now raising funds from the community to support its development.
Some of you have been emailing me privately with questions; I think it'd be neater (and less effort for me  ) to have that discussion in the open, on this thread. If for some reason you'd like your question to be anonymous, you can email me and I'll post it here. Since this is a website we are creating especially for the community that has grown up in and around UMSF, I hope you will participate in its formation!

Just a quick note to tell everyone that we've got our design nailed down for AmateurSpaceImages.com and are proceeding to development; we're still on track to have development completed in March. Based on the concerns raised in this thread, image processors will be able to specify that they reserve copyright or that they are providing the image under a Creative Commons license.
I am now trying to amass a starter database of images that'll go live with the site in March. If you'd like to see your images on the site when it goes live, please contact me at blog@planetary.org and I'll discuss with you how to document them. -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
