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! -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Yeah, sorry. I had to redirect my attention to our main site redesign. It's going to be awesome though, and the new site will actually feature such amazing 21st century innovations as KEYWORDS on blog posts, so it'll be easy to find posts containing amateur-processed images there! (In case my tone is hard to read, the lack of keywords or really any kind of metadata on blog posts at all has been driving me crazy for five years.)

Great Emily ! A new site and more attractive means more members for TPS... Meaning also more actions to foster space exploration... "Vive la Planetary Society !" of which we are so proud of being members (since 1982 for me), thanks also to its nice team and to this your good work of our beloved "Bloguette par Excellence" ! (in French) Congratulations Emily for all you are doing for us and TPS |
