[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have created a mailing list called "imagestore", whose purpose is serious technical discussions by accomplished experts about the best way to store digital images. Our goal is to come up with a couple of system designs (one for professionals and one for amateurs) and some well-written guidelines for best practices in how to use them. Anyone is welcome to join and listen. If you think you can contribute without babbling, anyone is also welcome to contribute. I expect that there will be a core group of about half a dozen experienced professional engineers who get the work done. Since these people all have real jobs and thus real deadlines, this project isn't going to be able to run on the same schedule as a normal commercial engineering project. I would like to set a goal of finishing V1 of the hardware recommendations and V1 of the procedure recommendations by the end of 2009. I think that is a realistic goal. I will manage the process unless someone who is a more experienced engineering manager than I am or who has more time than I do (I am not retired) steps forward. No enginering project will succeed without a good manager, and I'm very happy to relinquish that role to someone who has the skills and the time and the interest. But if no such person surfaces, you're stuck with me. http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/imagestore
