September 10 & 11!
This Diary will be updated with new information as it becomes available
By setting a date that is still several weeks away, we have time to sort through what we’ve got and convert paper photographs to digital. If anyone doesn’t know how to do that, we can share tips here. I think you can have photos scanned at most places that develop film. Or you might have a friend with a scanner.
I’m thinking that we would have a main diary that holds links to the Display Diaries. That main diary would be the one we would want recommended.
And each of the display diaries would have maybe 20 photographs (with a bar linking that page to all the other pages). The photos should be at the main comment level. But comments could be made under each one.
After we reach the max size for a page would we want a poll to vote on the favorite photo for that page? Would we want a best of show? Best of various categories? Would it make sense to have pages focusing on categories of photographs — if so, what categories
Would we want to allow for slightly larger photographs just for the fair? Do we want to define any other standards for the display of the photographs?
Let’s talk about:
- Do we want categories?
(So far — Yes)
- What categories?
- How to we make the fair fun for low-bandwidth frogs?
(limit page size)
- Do we set formal guidelines for photo dimensions?
(So far — Yes, but how do we decide?)
- Is it possible to judge food entries fairly at a virtual fair?
(So far — Probably not)
- Do we want to judge entries (we do have the ability to RATE built into the system)
(So far — No, and I agree)
- Any other topics that I haven’t thought of in my confused state
Take a moment to let us know how interested you are!
