World Book Day is a celebration of reading in the UK and Ireland that’s “trended” worldwide at times on Twitter today. Seems we want World Book Day to really encompass the world!

We’d like to expand the Indicommons site by adding Flickr API applications to show off some of the great content in The Commons … and we need your help!
While those of us at Indicommons who can code would love to do this ourselves, we’re finding that we don’t have the time to devote to this task. So, we’re looking for developers who are familiar with the Flickr API to help us out. Unfortunately, this would be need to be done gratis with attribution, as we aren’t monetizing our site, but if you’re interested in The Commons and would like to contribute your skills, we’d love to see what you’ve got.
The following is a list of suggested requirements for the application(s):
- The app will be hosted on our server
- Does not require authentication
- Recent photos from each institution in the Commons, limited to the No Known Copyright Restrictions designation
- A page to handle each institution’s Flickr profile and display their sets
- Commons search
- Commons timeline (a calendar view by date taken)
- Map of the Commons (preferably using Open Street Maps)
In the future, we’d like to see authenticated apps that enable visitors to tag, favorite, and comment on Commons photos as well as to curate galleries, but for now the above few requirements are fine.
If you’d like to develop for Indicommons, please drop us a line in the comments on this post or contact me at zyrcster [at] indicommons.org. Thanks!
