Nuno,

Thanks for the code.  It looked promising, but unfortunately I'm not a
programmer and the final product never arrived, and I think we'll have
to "go manual" at this point.

To convert your system to our minimum requirements, we'd have to take
your "single person" system and
A. Randomly select, 50 or so photos, and have one person rate these, say 1-5.
B. Store these results
C. give a new screener another 50 or so photos, and store these results, and
D. do this so 100,000 photos get rated at least 3 times each, then finally
E. Average all the result for each pic.


We would need some more time to get this turned into a gadget and the toolserver has been a bit slow for the backend part.  I am travelling so unfortunately can't finish with a gadget by today. :(

Anyway, I am not sure how practical it is to have ratings for 100,000 photos (each!) x 3 times, so I think we need a simplified process for the US.

I was thinking we'd have people nominate photos into another category or something.  If there was a way to track which batch of photos have been looked through for nomination, that would be great, and not sure the best way (if any) to do that.  Is this a good idea?  can someone help set it up?

With a nominated set of photos (not sure how many), then a voting tool would be useful, and number of photos manageable.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Katie





Obviously some bells and whistles would have been nice, but that would
have worked.  Unfortunately it just never got that far.

If anybody can deliver that in working order before Sept. 10, please
let me know!

Hi Peter,

Didn't our code help? Could you be more specific why the solution
doesn't apply to you?
