Chers tous, en attendant la sortie des forums, je vous propose de poster ici vos souhaits d'amélioration et de nouvelles fonctions pour ipernity. Cette discussion a pour but de nous aider à mieux cibler vos attentes. Je vais ouvrir prochainement une discussion sur les Groupes, inutile d'en parler ici ;-) Je propose d'utiliser l'anglais mais si vous n'êtes pas à l'aise, exprimez vous dans votre langue. / Christian.
* mise à jour 01/07/07 * vous trouverez un résumé des cent premiers posts en page 2
Dear all, while waiting forums, I suggest you to post here your wishes about improvements and new features for ipernity. This thread aims to help us to target your needs better. I'm about to open a special thread for Groups, so it's not necessary to talk about it here ;-) I propose to use English but feel free to use your own language if English is not okay for you / Christian.
*01/07/07 update * you'll find a summary of the first hundred posts in page #2

Chez l' "activite recente" on peut voir les commentaires qu'on a ecrit chez des autres membres d'ipernity MAIS je ne vois une possibilite facile a voir s'ily avait des reponses a ces commentaire. Peut-etre il y en a sans que je la vois?

1. Groups, of course.
2. Re-arranging albums in the Organizer (urgently needed!).
3. Autotagging module ("Autotaggr"): You give it up to 3 matching tags and it will give you some others that might fit. With one click you can accept or deny an auto-tag! World idea, I think!
4. Kind of the same thing behind the geotags: You have a pic and the system gives you suggestions BASED on the tags you gave a pic. It looks after your other pics (tags) and suggests where your pic was taken. Click "yes" or "no" and give it another place.
5. Camera finder.
6. Color finder (!). "Find a picture with 75% yellow inside ...".
7. Not only CC search (of course) but also a page where people ASK others to work with their pics (adapt on). Contests possible.
8. Blog plugins and widgets (badges)!! Wordpress, Blogger etc. ...
9. Online editing tools for pics, videos and audio (basic FX like cutting and auto-levels)! I guess this would make ipernity THE STATE-OF-THE-ART media sharing system!
What do you think?
mesipluspro says:
My suggestion: It would be very nice, when I could here the shared music from a member the whole time I visit his/her site. Also when I look in the blog and the photostream.
226 says:
also, more "latest photos/docs" from my contacts on my home page or at least the option "view more latest photos/docs from your contacts"
(I already wrote a mail to you guys asking for this feature, here are some more people who would appreciate it: www.ipernity.com/blog/pixelroiber/12168
this function: "Would you like to publish this photo on another website?" should be also optional, not everybody wants to share their pictures, a lot of people do not want their pics all over the internet so it would be good if you had a choice.
also, just a small thing though:
when there is notes on a pic and you are on the main view page there is no other way to know, than going over the image. It would be good if there was some sort of caption that pointed this out
"there are notes on this image" or something of sorts.
I know this might sound like a lot, but its just suggestions, I am really happy here ;)
good work, again :D

- Groups (yes, 2-3 weeks!, merci beaucoup)
- facilitate change of order of Albums
- put edit options in *one* place (also geotagging)
- the display of the whole globe for geotagged pictures is not very useful, maybe
just display the country
- make the profile more visible (at first menu level maybe)
- limit the number of displayed new pictures to a maximum (e.g. 5, better: variable, menu "Latest docs and posts")
- good communication with the users - what we are all looking for is a
*community* not a cheap place to host our pictures. So talk to us, show us
who you are and you will get unlimited support from us. (This forum is a very good idea, the communication with the users also very good)
- view of the *extended* network, like in the daily mails
- make better structure of explore pictures, maybe daily/weekly....
- colours should apply everywhere, not only in the start view
For the rest, the stability of the system and the functions are quite o.k. - good job!

- Longer overview of the discussion threads in "recent activity" and "your activity at others
- Collections would be a nice to have, but that's not urgent for me
On the other hand, I'm already very very happy with the services you are currently offering- thanks a lot for this great platform!

tuxcomputers says:
* When there are multiple responses to your blog since the last time you logged in just see them all beneath each other.
* The "Activity" link is changed (eg bolded) to indicate that there is new activity in your stream.
* Move the Check out your activity at Others' link so that it is available at the top level under "My Space".
* Linked to the above, when you do look at "Your comments", show other peoples responses since yours underneath it, maybe just the last 10.
* Have a "Quote" link for the blogs, photo comments and groups. I make heavy use of the Greasemonkey script "flickrQuoter".

Daniel Schwabepro says:
Here is my list:
1 - Groups - but make sure it is easy to manage, perhaps borrowing some ideas from the various greasemonkey scripts and make them native.
2 - Ability to define albums as a query (a la Dopiaza's set manager).
3 - Ability to define ordering of photos in stream besides chronological order. Changing the upload date/time is a poor way to achieve this...
4 - Allow replacing an existing photo with another file
Keep up the good work!

I have a question though.
If I disable the download function, are pro users still able to download / see the large size?
If so, I would like to be able to disable that function.

And did anyone already mention the replace this picture function? :)

Paŭl Peeraertspro says:
1. Cliché du / Taken on gives only the possibility of precise date and time. It would be nice if we could give approximate dates for older photos without EXIF data (see F**r)
2. Friends/Family: I would like to be able to create more categories. I have friends from work and friends from other places ... I have the family of my girl friend and my own family ...
3. Guest links: A very good option of F**r were the guest links. You could "open" a private album (set) to certain people, even non members. If this could be implemented, point 2 (Friends/Family) is less needed.
4. I would welcome on the Profile page a space where you can indicate languages spoken/understood. Very good to know for the users, but good for the Iperny staff too. So they know which languages to add to the inferface.
5. A way to determine the order of ones albums, and nicer still, a way to arrange albums in other albums ("collections" in the F**r terminology).
6. A CC (Creative Commons) search.
Doppeltbelichtetpro says:
First of all I'd like to tell you what a wonderful and outstanding job you are doing in making this the welcoming and comfortable place to refuge to from f*****.
I am sure, it must be quite overwhelming and surprising for you, to get this load full of requests and suggestions from all of us-
and you are sooooo friendly and polite as well, giving us even more space to transfer our pics from f*** to ipernity- you really rock!
:-)
My suggestion would be, to have a quite similar "favourite"- collective fiewing in square mode, as we had on this other site. Maybe 6 rows 6 collumns, to view the latest added favourites and to play with their appeareance. it is such great fun to arrange them by color, style or content!
And please, add the possibility to switch the ordering of the album view (not only the last uploaded album in first place- just drag n' drop to the place the album should be in).
This would be my wishlist so far.
I simply luv the idea of the blogs and videos and music to share- as i wrote before:
You are such an amazing team of heard working enthusiasts- it#s a pleasure to become an "ipernityc" :-)
Cheerios and keep up the good work!
Stilettopro says:
1. Automatic import of the EXIF/IPTC tags of a photo:
- keywords - preserved filename - description - title - copyright - author
2. Change upload dates for photos (or an alternative to chronological order for stream management)
3. Improved Album organisation:
- Sub-albums or equivalent to create more "Sets" within Albums
- Change the Album order (so new ones don't automatically appear first, etc.)
These are great ideas and get my vote:
- Any improvements to track comments I've made, that have been replied to etc. will be much appreciated; both in terms of seeing more and accessing these in a more direct manner.
- Replace this picture function
- Camera finder
- Languages spoken/understood on the user's Profile page
- More than 20 tags
- Hear the member's shared music on other pages; not only the main one
- Password protection for Albums/sub-Albums (for non-members also)
Thank you for opening this post and being so welcoming, receptive, responsive and pro-active! I'm very impressed with the way the Team has reacted so far and am happy to wait for improvements to be made in a timely manner; Rome wasn't built in a day... :-)

nitifixispro says:
- Don't allow too much layout customization. Ipernity may end up like that aberration called MySpace.
- Don't use flag icons to indicate languages. Flags represent countries, not languages. There are many countries that use the same language, and numerous countries that have more than one official language.
- Add the ability to block HTML code in comments.
ecstaticist says:
I recognize the translation services are often laughably incorrect in content and tone, and any translation offered should come with a huge caveat, but most of the time they give you chance to understand the basic message. This would save me copying and pasting comments into one of these services myself.
This would also need to be a preference that could be configured by users as many people wouldn't need or want it. I see a little row of flags, not unlike the one you have now, under comments, clickable - wait a second or tow - the translation appears. Since 99 percent of comments are short, it might not be that much overhead. I think this would be a first. It might also be hugely entertaining.
Jean-Michelpro says:
OK, I'm an addict
[euchrid]pro says:
1) I think the Docs menu under My Space (or under the username) should also show photos, audio, videos, blogs, and others - perhaps as an expanded or expandable menu. Alternatively, they should be one click away somewhere else - perhaps under the space that you are browsing (so, if I am at, say, Team Ipernity's, under the name I get the options mentioned above). Basically, it is a little frustrating waiting for a page to load (docs), only to have to load another page (photos or whatever).
2) A separate area or marker for people to post their own music - i.e. music they have made themselves. I think this would encourage that side of things to open up much more, as this would be like a much, much better 'Myspace' for musicians and photographers,artists, etc to meet. Also, the appropriate markers for the music to add Creative Commons licenses and suchlike. I, for one, will be uploading my music here eventually!
3) Could albums be nested like folders? That would work really well in some cases (for example, you take photos every Halloween, and have 5 years' worth, you can put them in one folder/album called 'Halloween' with each year available inside. I think nesting one deep would be enough.
4) Website/blog integration - there is a major need for this to encourage people to sign up for a pro account. Just a couple of simple tools - even something that just shows the last 5 photos or something, without the need for loads of messy Javascript, would work great for now. Or integrating the playlist for audio and video - anything that people can put on their sites to lure people over here.
5) Enough layout changes so that it doesn't resemble Flickr. I know this is not easy, and, in fact, Ipernity looks loads better than Flickr to me - but I think the strength in this site is that it offers a different service and community to Flickr, and appeals to a much larger range. Change the font, change the link colours, change something in the main white area to make it unique - looking. There are too many dumb comments floating around about how Ipernity is a Flickr rip-off. Let them see that it is not!
6) When groups come in (I'll add this to your other thread, if you like), try to make them different to that other photo sharing site that I mentioned above. I don't know how, exactly, but just different. (Maybe some safeguard against dumb-ass ideas like the '10 million photo pool' and stuff, where people just swamp the place).
7) Explain the terms and conditions a little more clearly. Is nudity allowed? Can I swear in comments? What is 'obscene' or 'otherwise objectionable'? Is there a safe/adult filter for those who want it? I have seen a couple of comments where people thought the terms and conditions here were too restrictive, but I don't believe that to be the case. Still, it could put some people off, as attention has been drawn to it in at least one post I came across. Personally, I am not concerned, as I don't take 'naughty' photos and I can always try not to swear...
8) With uploading 'other' docs, I think an option for text would be good - this would allow for short stories, poems, letters, etc. to be uploaded. I know (or guess) that we can already upload a .txt file, but it won't look as nice. There could be another option, like the blog, that would allow a cut 'n' paste type option, where the text can be previewed - but unlike the blog, without the date. This might be handy for people who want to share text with family, friends, or the wider world, or poets and writers to keep their work separate from their blog.
I hope all that helped!
Other than that, I can't think of anything else. Fantastic job! The guestbook idea is beautiful, the home pages are a lovely touch, the thumbnails/medium/large options on the photos pages are a great help, the community is one of the best I have come across, and the potential is really encouraging. No complaints, and no worries. Thanks again!

* RSS Feed for recent activity
[euchrid]pro says:
1) The Doc Manager search does not work properly. Photos that are tagged with a word or phrase are not always found. I tested this by going back to my docstream, and, sure enough, I found photos, with tags, that Doc Manager did not find. The photos had been uploaded at least 24 hours earlier, and in fact newer ones were found successfully, while some older ones were not.
2) The playlist should appear on the 'Audios' page.
3) When you go straight to a blog, it is not obvious (to newcomers, at least) that the person has photos, etc. as well. The photos/audios/videos/other tabs should perhaps include 'blog' as well, and the tabs (or similar) be available on the blog page.
4) In the 'My Profile' page, how about a box for 'Favourite Photographers and/or Artists' as well as the Actors/Directors thing? Seems more appropriate for the photo sharing side of things! Also, more interesting to search for people inspired by Diane Arbus, Weegee, Witkin, whoever...
I'll shut up now! Thanks again for everything!
