Fotola2 Plans
Here's an early draft of the spec for Fotola2. I hope it doesn't suffer too much from "second system syndrome" -- it is a little ambitious, but not overboard.
Never mind that there aren't any other open-source distributed content sites out there. Somebody has got to be first!
By the way, this will include things like a plain-text email option, who linked to me? feature, and utf-8 unicode support.

Rounding It Out
The new logos and buttons are in. Help spread the word by putting one on your site.
The Online Help is basically done. Copy-editing assistance would be brilliant, please have a read through them if you have a skill for that kind of thing.
My favorite summary so far:
"Fotola sucks in images, combobulates them, and then squirts them back out wherever you want them to go."Also, see the nifty definition at the top of the About Section.-- me
