I had no bites to my suggestion that Bermudians create an archive similar to the BBC's Domesday project, which attempts to capture a snapshot of life as it is today.However one of the developers of the Geograph Britain and Ireland site (www.geograph.org) contacted me to point out that those interested could use its open source management technology to set up something similar.“In many ways it's pretty much recreating the photographic aspect of Domesday,” he writes.Geograph is set up as a game. People submit images to fill the missing grids or spaces within within a map of the UK. So far 10,767 people have placed about 2.4 million images covering 261,445 grid squares, or 78.8 percent of the total spaces covering both countries.Nigel Chadwick is in first place with 458 images submitted. It is fascinating to click on the squares and see some of the images and the descriptions: “Crossley Street, Lower Holloway. This imposing Victorian house, on the corner of Sheringham Road and Crossley Street, catches a brief burst of sunlight”.Then there are the collections of photographs and descriptions, such as a page about martello towers, small defensive forts built along southeast England during the Napoleonic wars. I like the pages of descriptions and images for Hastings, a town I lived nearby a decade ago. There are a couple games for children to get them into locating images on a map.“This is not a photography site,” the founders say, ”...basically highlighting that Geograph is not primarily about ‘artistic' photography, preferring to concentrate on documenting the land, warts and all.”It could be adapted for Bermuda. So I am going to try and set up a similar site and see what happens. I would pledge to follow the spirit of the site, requiring all submitters to adopt a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence for their photographs. Photographers keep copyright on their photos, but would also grant the use of their photographs in return for attribution.“In a nutshell, we wanted to build a true community project that won't leave a nasty taste in the mouth by getting sold for shed loads of cash and taken away from the people who contributed, “ the developers say. The licence terms ensure that the site and content can never be “taken away” from contributors.That does not stop them from looking for sponsors, commercial or otherwise, in an effort to pay for the costs of running the site and further developing the software. Google tries to do something similar with its maps and street photographs, but that effort is part of a giant money making machine and has run into trouble in Europe. Perhaps a creative commons effort might have more success.Intranet competitionWho has the best Intranet on the Island, perhaps the world? If you think yours stacks up among the best then be brave and put it forward for the annual Intranet design award.Submissions must be made by June 22. The competition is run by the Nielsen Norman Group, of Jakob Nielsen fame. His name is usually followed by the words bestowed upon him by the New York Times: “guru of web page usability”.The competition aims to identify the world's ten best intranets. The top ten winners will be announced in January 2012. Anything that runs inside a company and is not accessible on the public Web is eligible for the award, including extranets. There is no fee to enter. However the winning intranets become part of a case study sold by the company.To read the rules head on over to NN Group.Send any comments to elamin.ahmed@gmail.com
