Reply To: Requesting ALL PHOTOS!

Is photo and video galleries really what the CAWA website needs? Sure, they look nice, but I would think that is something well covered by flickr and youtube. i.e., tag your photos/videos properly and they can be aggregated on this site.

My impression is that the site provides its most value in how it presents climbs, locations and the relevant discussion. If I’m planning a trip to the Porongorup’s then I want to find out about recent fires. If I’m going to climb Agent de France then I want to know that the crux hold broke off. Linking discussion to content is key.

There are a heap of web development nerds that want to contribute to the new site and many more are interested in the shape it will take. How about managing it transparently online? Something like BaseCamp or a wiki could be used so that anyone can see what is going on. Let everyone see what is planned and who is doing what. It seems a lot of complaints targeted at the committee are because no one sees any action.
