Hello,

We're looking for someone to develop one or more simple, graphical keyword tagging modules for Gallery3 in support of a research effort at UCLA. This would be using HTML5/Javascript/CSS plus a minimal backend component for Gallery integration.

This would be work-for-hire but the code will be made available as open source using a commercializable license (BSD, Apache, etc.) to benefit the Gallery community and provide additional incentive for the developer.

The ideal due date for the first iteration is ~January 6. Hoping someone is looking for a holiday project!

If you're interested, please respond in this forum or, better, email me directly at

(remove the __ part).

Regards,
Jeff Burke

I count 10 tag modules already, what would make yours different?

Briefly, we're looking for an interface that allows very efficient assignment of common tags (w/o typing) and supports tag weighting (e.g., foo:0.5, bar:0.2) done visually. We also want to visualize tag weighting for pairs of weighted tags on a 2D coordinate system.

Not complicated, but I don't know of things out there that are close enough to what we want. While the tag weighting may not be generally useful, whatever we come up with to increase the speed of tagging many images could be, as well as perhaps some of the thumbnail visualization necessary for the other pieces.

Once we gauge the interest of developers, we'll sketch a more formal scope of work and invite bids/discussion if there's more than one person interested.

If there are existing modules out there in particular that we should look at, I'm happy to review them, but I haven't seen something that does what we need.

cheers,
Jeff

Tag weighting is usually done automatically by popularity eg. 500 photos tagged foo 200 tagged bar. And this can be computed on the fly.

Sure, but we are looking for something specific that is a little different: In our application, tags can be weighted manually by the user as an expression of the relevance of the tag to the asset.

This is why I think the weighting part might not be generally applicable.

or something like I made for G2:

I'm not interested in developing a module but would like to see a better explanation of what you are after.

The basic idea is that for pairs of weighted tags (foo:0.2, bar:0.8) on images the code can place thumbnails in a 2D space with axes of foo, bar.

But let me sketch out what it is that we're talking about in more detail (and why) and post it.
