The problem of not using the available technology appropriately was highlighted for me by the difficulties that Veronica was having collecting images from people for the travelling exhibition. Some of these problems could have been ameliorated by having a dedicated site to which images could be uploaded. This would have advantages over the sending of individual e-mails containing images in that the images would be in one place selectors wouldn't have to go through a number of e-mails containing images of varying format and sizes, the selection process would also be more transparent. The site could also be used by people working collaboratively on an image or images.
The a-n site could be used for both these process there are limitations created by the limited size of the images on this site and it lacks a facility to download images for others to work on but I'm not sure that the limitations are such that we need to set up an alternative. Judging by the amount of traffic on the Le Cheile a-n blog site not many of the members are comfortable or are aware of the advantages of using the technology. My preference is to continue with exploring the limits of the a-n blog. It's probably more a case of encouraging others to use it rather than setting up something new.
