Photo/image hosting brainstorm post
So, now that ![[staff profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user_staff.png)
mark is working for Dreamwidth fulltime, we're going to be working on many of the "big" projects that we want to do. One of them is a DW-native form of photo/image hosting that will let people upload images, maintain image galleries, quickly post images, etc, etc.
It'll be a while before we can have something released, but we're starting the design-and-spec process now! We have some ideas of our own about how it should work and what features it should contain, but we're turning to you guys right now at the very start, before we say anything about how we want things to work, to get your input and ideas without influencing them.
What features do you guys look for in photo/image hosting? What would you consider a "must have"? What would you consider to be nice but not necessary? What would be your "killer app" for image hosting -- the thing that would make you go "oh wow!" a lot and recommend it to all your friends?
Don't think about whether something's possible or not -- we want to hear your pie-in-the-sky ideas, your craziest thoughts, as well as your list of what features you'd absolutely require before you started to use it.

One fancy thing I'd like would be to be able to create preview images in a size I like from just a section of the image on the fly. Right now I do that in my graphics program and upload the thumbnail extra, but it would be nice if I could for example pick the most interesting square area from the picture I uploaded with my mouse and then tell it that this was supposed to be displayed as 130x130 px or whatever even though it's an 300px wide area in the image.
