Photo/image hosting brainstorm post

So, now that [staff profile] 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.

I know the suggestions aren't business friendly. But since [staff profile] denise wants to hear about "the pie in the skies", I thought why not toss it out? :-)

I know polls aren't limited in numbers, but it would still be nice to give one to somebody who wants to poll "just this one question". It happened to me on LJ and if there hadn't been a nice person gifting me with a month of paid time there... It just came as an afterthought. This is about media files, after all.
