Quick questions:
* are there some video features (like kaltura or youtube simple editing)?
* how does "Indesign integration" exactly work?
* is it possible to use local storage, not Amazon services?
* is there some ansible / salt / chef / whatever installation scripting available?
Also one special consideration, none of the tools I checked, no picture gallery and no web service that hosts pictures offers this simple but very important feature:
* picture approval workflow: please allow to upload pictures, show input fields for email(s) of person(s) visible on the picture and send them a link to a page where they can allow to publish the picture. This could be a (customizable) form with some specific text or some more details, however the user should be able to simply agree publishing the picture. Save the user agreement status in the datastore.
Every software / web service allowing to publish pictures online should have such a feature - the fact that this is not available anywhere shows that we are still in the very beginnings of the internets. One day, certainly, humans will laugh about the "non-privacy-by-default"-internetz of the early days...
Yes, I know, as a journalist usually you have rights cleared material, however this functionality would still be a great step forward, also for pro material a good rights management workflow would be very important to have. How to implement this, is there some developer documentation / plugin system available?
