[xwiki-devs] Photo Album API

Hi devs, we are working with XWiki for about three years now (I think we started using it around version 0.8). In this time we developed several plugins, which we always planed to make open source to give something back to the community. However, until now we never found the time to do it. Now we saw in your GSoC proposals the project for a new photo album application. We thought this would be a good moment to contribute our photo plugin (or parts of it). Short list of features: - unzip an attached file and attach the contained files to a document (i.e. the photo album) - resize images to a maximum width and height maintaining the aspect ratio (if you like already while unzipping) - only jpg until now. When we wrote it, the XWiki image plugin stretched the images when width and height were defined. - read meta data from images (using http://www.drewnoakes.com/code/exif/ - sadly it seems the library is not updated anymore) The plugin would be the Java part only and not directly affect the GSoC project, since it seems to focus mostly on a new front end, but we think the plugin could add some features to it. (Maybe I could create a small example page if you are interested) I hope to hear from you wether you are interested and if so, what parts you are interested in. Also don't hesitate to ask if you have questions or need further information. Edo
