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.

I've been working on some stuff in the back end of the website today, improving browse display of images and making one-click searches easier. Please make suggestions! I have not tested the layout across browsers so please especially let me know if there are display problems (including which browser/OS you are using).
http://www.planetary.org/explore/space-top...ng/amateur.html ngunn, the answer to your question is yes. I'd enter the images into the database as ordinary image file types but can easily embed zoomify versions below the page-width display of the image. -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Not sure if this is intended, but I'm guessing not. It looks like the margin-bottom for the style class 'item' is causing the first object in the top row to pop up above the others in the following environments: Windows 7 Chrome 24.0.1297.0 dev-m Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 (Browser Mode: IE9, Document Mode: IE9 Standards) I did not experience it in Firefox 12.0. Looking good, though. -------------------- |
