Abstract

You can upload any type of content to a Roller weblog and include that content on weblog entries as images or Podcasts, but the tools for doing so are lacking. The interface that allows you to browse your file uploads does not display thumbnails, it is not sortable and not pagable. Once you have uploaded an image or Podcast, you have to cut and paste the URL into your blog post. This project will replace that old File Upload user interface with a more interactive and modern UI for browsing and choosing media and automatically adding the correct HTML markup to blog entries.

...

• ATOM publishing for media files uploaded - change the structure to be hierarchical and add the metadata information (name, description, tags, copyright text) for each file.
• Support ATOM feed for "latest images that you uploaded".
• Media files display - Make it CoolIris compatible.
