Hello all!
No news from us since a long time! Does it mean we were in holidays, drinking cocktails in a beach bar? No no no!!! We were working on ipernity (and we are still working on ;-)
We led and continue to lead 4 groups of projects at the same time:
1) small improvements and bug fixes
- color search
Now you can search pictures containing a specific dominant color. Just type the color hex code you want in the search area. For instance #123456 or #AA124F.
Funny isn't it? And useful too! We'll improve interface in the future. Of course, the larger the pictures database is, the more numerous the answers are. So let's try! (and let's post pictures containing new dominant colors! It could be a game! Biggoooode???)
- video rotating
That's now possible with ipernity! You'll find a "rotate" button above each of your videos. This is not a common feature isn't it?
- upload and blog by email
Upload new docs or blog easily from your mobile phone or your email software.
How does it work? Let's go to your Preferences / Upload and Blog by email
Warning : this feature is in beta. Only PRO members can use it for the moment. Feel free to report us bugs or to give your feedback (please use the "Contact us" link at the bottom).
- Youtube and Dailymotion embedding
You may now insert Youtube, Dailymotion and other Flash videos in your blog posts, by simply type this tag: <embed ...></embed>
- new atom/rss feeds for your Keywords Tags
You'll find them in your "Tags / Keywords" section
- "replace" feature for PRO members
(just a question of days now - we'll also explain why PRO members only)
- and of course daily bug fixes
and thanks to those who help us debugging ipernity!
2) features increasing activity, audience, and helping our community growing well
We all agree our community needs to grow. There are hundreds ways for that. Here are two:
- multilingualism
"giving access to more people and to various cultures"
The first logical way to reach this goal consists in providing ipernity in many languages. We built in July a powerful online translation tool and opened it to many volunteers who helped us in translating ipernity into German, Spanish and Italian.
Here are the results you can try and even use:
[ German ]
[ Italian ]
There are 2 or 3 small things we have to tune (in the exploration pages). Just a question of days for the official launching.
One time more: we warmly thank you all the members who help us translating. Dear volunteers, this is YOUR work and we are very proud of you. You'll be enhanced in the credits page we'll open at launching.
Please, feel free to report us mistakes, typos and so...
About Portuguese translation, we need 2 or 3 more volunteers (European-Portuguese only. Brazilian people, we'll open your section in a few weeks).
We plan to start many other translations by September. We love diversity!
- address book import
If you get an address book at one of the most popular email providers (Gmail, Hotmail, YahooMail, AOL...), we can check for you whether your friends are already ipernity members or not. You may then easily add them to your network... or invite them to join. Let's try!
3) Groups
Of course, we worked and we are still working on Groups. Job is done at 70%. This is a major improvement requesting time for programming and testing.
We feel an increasing pressure (we also spend time reading members' posts ;-)), and we don't want to disappoint members who need groups to develop their activity on ipernity.
So, here is our decision:
- we'll package basic features only to open a basic but functional version of Groups
- we'll add advanced features when they are ready
So, Members could start building groups soon ;-)
4) Photoprints
We've just finished to implement a partnership with the Europe's photo services leader company. European members will have the possibility to order quality photoprints and posters of their pictures posted on ipernity (from 9 cents per photoprint, that's pretty cheap!) (we are negotiating something similar for American members).
We are ready on our side. Our partner needs some days more to test. More news very soon.
That's all for today!
Stay tuned!
Léa, Christophe and Christian

Bonjour à tous !
Nous n'avons pas donné de nouvelles ces derniers temps ! Mais rassurez-vous, nous n'étions pas en vacances, les doigts en éventails sur une plage à siroter un cocktail... Non non non, nous travaillions (et nous travaillons toujours) à faire évoluer ipernity.
Nous avons mené de front et continuons à poursuivre 4 groupes de projets en même temps :
1) petites améliorations et corrections de bugs
- recherche par couleur
Vous pouvez désormais rechercher des images contenant une couleur dominante particulière. Il suffit de saisir le code couleur hexadécimal dans la zone de recherche. Par exemple #123456 ou #AA124F.
Amusant non ? Et utile aussi ! Nous améliorerons l'interface dans l'avenir. Bien sûr, plus la base de données d'images sera grande, plus les réponses seront nombreuses. Nous vous invitons à essayer ! (et pourquoi pas à publier des photos avec des couleurs dominantes inédites. Ca pourrait même devenir un jeu! Biggooode ???)
- rotation des vidéos
C'est maintenant possible avec ipernity ! Vous trouverez un bouton "rotation" au dessus de chacunes de vos vidéos. Cette fonction est assez inédite sur le Web n'est-ce pas ?
- téélcharger et bloguer par email
Vous pouvez aussi télécharger de nouveaux documents et poster de nouveaux articles par email, à partir de votre téléphone portable ou de votre gestionnaire d'email. Comment ça marche ? Allez faire un tour dans vos Preferences / Téléchargez et Bloguez par email
Attention : cette fonction est en phase de test. Seuls les membres PRO peuvent l'utiliser pour le moment. N'hésitez pas à nous faire remonter les bugs et à nous donner vos impressions (utilisez pour cela le lien "Contactez-nous" présent en bas de page).
- Insertion de vidéos Youtube et Dailymotion
Vous avez désormais la possibilité d'insérer dans vos articles de blog, des vidéos Youtube, Dailymotion et toute autres vidéos Flash. Il suffit simplement d'insérer dans votre article la balise suivante : <embed ...></embed>
- nouveaux flux atom/rss pour vos Tags Mot-Clé
Vous les trouverez dans votre page "Tags / Mot-Clé".
- fonction de remplacement de documents pour les membres PRO
Elle sera effective dans quelques jours. Nous vous expliquerons aussi pourquoi nous la réservons aux PRO
- et bien sûr la correction journalière de bugs
et merci à ceux qui nous signalent les erreurs rencontrées.
2) fonctions visant à accroître l'activité, l'audience et à aider notre communauté à bien grandir
Nous sommes tous d'accord sur le fait que notre communauté doit s'accroître. Il y a des centaines de façons d'y arriver. En voici deux :
- multilinguisme
"donner l'accès à plus de personnes et à des cultures diversifiées"
La première façon la plus logique d'atteindre ce but, consiste à proposer ipernity dans de nombreuses langues. Nous avons construit en juillet un puissant outil de traduction en ligne. Nous l'avons ouvert à de nombreux volontaires qui nous ont aidé à traduire ipernity en allemand, espagnol et italien.
Voici les fruits de ce travail, que vous pouvez tester et même utiliser dès à présent :
[Allemand ]
[ Italien ]
Il demeure 2 ou 3 petites choses à règler (dans les pages d'exploration notamment). Juste une question de jours avant le lancement officiel.
Une fois de plus : nous remercions vivement tous les membres qui nous assistent dans la traduction. Chers volontaires, ceci est VOTRE travail et nous sommes très fiers de vous. Vous serez honorés dans une page de remerciement que nous ouvrirons en même temps que le lancement.
N'hésitez pas à nous faire part d'erreurs de traduction et de compréhesion.
Au sujet de la traduction en portugais, nous souhaiterions 2 ou 3 volontaires additionnels (Portugais européen uniquement. Amis brésiliens, nous ouvrirons très bientôt un chantier de traduction pour vous).
Nous prévoyons d'engager la traduction d'ipernity dans de nombreuses autres langues à partir de septembre. La diversité est un de nos crédos.
- import de carnet d'adresses
Si vous disposez d'un carnet d'adresses chez l'un des principaux fournisseurs d'emails (Gmail, Hotmail, YahooMail, AOL...), nous pouvons vérifier pour vous si vos amis sont déjà membres d'ipernity. Vous pourrez alors les ajouter facilement à votre réseau... ou les inviter à vous rejoindre. C'est par là !
3) Groupes
Bien sûr, nous avons travaillé et continuons à oeuvrer pour les Groupes. Le projet est achevé à 70%. Il s'agit d'une évolution majeure qui nécessite un temps conséquent de programmation et de mise au point.
Nous ressentons une pression croissante (nous passons aussi du temps à lire les articles des membres ;-)), et nous ne souhaiterions pas décevoir des membres qui ont un réel besoin des groupes pour développer leur activité sur ipernity.
Voici donc notre décision :
- nous allons réunir les fonctions nécessaires et suffisantes à une utilisation de base des Groupes, et ouvrir une version basique des Groupes
le 17 septembre 2007
- sur cette base, nous y ajouterons des fonctions plus avancées lorsque nous acheverons de les programmer.
Les membres vont pouvoir démarrer la construction de leurs groupes très bientôt donc !
4) Tirage photo
We've just finished to implement a partnership with the Europe's photo services leader company. European members will have the possibility to order quality photoprints and posters of their pictures posted on ipernity (from 9 cents per photoprint, that's pretty cheap!) (we are negotiating something similar for American members).
Nous venons juste d'achever la réalisation d'un partenariat avec le leader européen en développement photo. Les membres d'Europe pourront commander des tirages et des posters de qualité à partir de leurs photos téléchargées sur ipernity (à partir de 9 centimes le tirage, c'est pas cher non ?) (nous négocions un partenariat similaire pour le continent américain).
Nous sommes fin prêts à lancer ce service. Notre partenaire a besoin de quelques jours de test supplémentaires. Des nouvelles très bientôt donc.
C'est tout pour aujourd'hui !
Bon surf !

Carstenpro says:
I just can say take your time rather than publishing a not working feature. Esp. for groups I assume that this has big repercussions on may aspects of the site and the underlying software (database etc.).
And I can just chime in: please give a sys of life more often. ;-) People tend to get restless...
BTW, what's the state of the API?

Nice to hear that the API is coming soon.

I have another request:
on other sites, like vox.com you can chose to share your pictures not only with "friends" or "family" but also with your whole network or "neighborhood" which is a good feature if you want to share things with your neighbours but not with people who are not registered to ipernity (it would also be a good way for you guys to gain more members ;) )
Sometimes I want to share things with more people than my friends/family, but less than the whole world, sometimes I want to share things with all my network, but not people outside of ipernity.
I hope this makes sense and you can consider my request :))

Theres no way than clicking all pics of friends again and again to read following comments and to communicate with other people( except the reply-function that doesn´t solve the problem) . That´s exertive, complicated and uncommunicative. It´s a bit disappointing for me not to read anything about this problem.
Can you tell us something about this?

Michael B.pro says:
Just been testing the German interface and it's already better than flickr's ever was. I might actually use it ;-)
Hm, this is starting to persuade me towards a pro account. But really: A big MERCI for all the work you have put into this.
To use 'Das rockt!' as a translation for 'what's hot' is one of the kind of things that can make my day.
Just hope you haven't introduced content filtering behind our backs now ;-)
I think Vogelmann said something very important above: you keep building trust between everyone concerned like you do and everything will sort itself out...
May the force be with you!
Ulf Buschmannpro says:
Concerning the groups, maybe think about this fact: IMO the infaltionary increase of groups at flickr is a kind of spam and many groups are absurd /have very few memebers.
Maybe the foundation of groups have to be controlled or they have to be deleted if inactive after a while. (Other options could be: Limited group foundations/member, minimum of members after a while, avoiding foundation of similar groups - like BW and B&W at flickr...).
I hope we will see clearly arranged groups, maybe sorted in categories you can browse. Thanks for your good work!

Entering hex codes isn't really fun, how about adding a link "Search pictures with similar color(s)" to each picture?
Christian Contipro replies:

To get the interface in german is funny ;-))
I will try the rest later...
.. and agree with Tupelo Honey about the thread and tracing of comments.
Please try to improve the trace of comments.

- address book import - cool idea :)!
4) Photoprints - Cool as well :)
(Maybe you can shoot a deal with Zazzle? ;)
Thomas Stachepro says:
I'd like to mention another wish: make it easier to see my faves! Right now it's:
Activity->Your activity at others->Your Favorites
That's way to many clicks, put it directly as a toplevel navigation on the homepage, next to network.
Tupelo Honeypro replies:
you can see your faves also in your docs, theres a link above.
Thomas Stachepro replies:
And by the way, that's still a lot of clicks, assuming I start at ipernity.com:
->Your Home->Docs->Favs
I liked at Flickr, that the homepage already had the "dashboard" functionality -- while the ipernity homepage doesn't have much value to me.

I absolutely agree.
If Ipernity wants to become a real big and lively community, it is a MUST to have a better overview on comments.
It seems to me that this feature isn't on the screen of Ipernity staff.
djuless says:

i agree with tupelo and lichtundschatten!
it's definitely the most important feature!!!

Xav says:
petite remarque / petit jeu: un paragraphe anglais s'est glisse dans le 4°) de la traduction francaise, sauras tu le retrouver ?
Kiezkicker says:
Maybee you should change it with the link from above. The issue that maybee some parts aren't translated aren't the big problem - to find this posting to change back to german was more time-intensive than translate the few sentences which aren't allready translated in the german version via googletranslate (if there aren't any - I haven't seen any - maybee I "autotranslate" them by brain 1.0, hm...).
