Well the idea is to create a photo contest,<br>people should submit them, and they will get voted up.  People will review them, for license and other issue and import them. The idea would be a facebook app. Or a way to submit a whole album. You can make albums public in fb. There are many technical measure if there is a will there is a way.<br>

<br>I would like to see a facebook connect like wikia has, that would be good. then we would need an upload this photo button. that would either push the photo or submit it for pull.<br><br>I dont think these things would be that hard.<br>

<br>we have sponsors for this, we are in discussion to get prize money. Of course the idea is to get as many photo submitted as possible that are of any value, even if they are just of every daye objects the photos can be used for the wikipedia articles.<br>

<br>We need to make sure these people are not confronted by the current uploader form, that will scare everyone away, it needs to be easy. Easy for people who are not native speakers and dont have the best education, people who struggle with using a computer and people who think that mobile phones are high-tech.<br>

Perhaps we can create a bot like that which uploads photos from Flickr? The problem is that Facebook doesn&#39;t allow to put license tags to your photos, right? But if you pass a list of URLs to Facebook images, it may can batch upload.<br>

</div>Why are you so interested in facebook?<br>
Allowing facebook login may be &quot;nice to have&quot;, but you seem to think<br>
that as having an high importance.<br>
Also not, that I disagree with your statement &quot;the filtering will be<br>
crowdsourced, with facebook likes&quot;. No matter how much people &quot;like&quot; in<br>
facebook a given photo of David Beckham. If it&#39;s unfree, it can&#39;t go in.<br>

</div></div>I never liked facebook until i started to work on the project in kosovo and albania, almost everyone has a facebook account there are they are online all the time. That is the reason, to reach the people.<br>



<br>We want to have a photo competition of photos of kosovo and albania for example, for people to upload photos that they make. <br><font color="#888888">
