Let's do this
"I know something cool would be to have a nomadlife images feed page.
How to do this?
Flickr.com is brilliant. They store as many photos online for you as you want, for free, and they arent evil. But the best thing is the tags feature. You can add any different number of tags to a photo, simple words or descriptors. If you make your photos "public", then people can search for photos with certain tags, ie "vancouver" or "bok choi".
But even better is, each tag stream is an RSS feed, meaning, if we use flickr to store our photos, and if we tag the interesting "nomadlife themed" photos (gorgeous nature scenes, local life and culture, cool stuff) with a unique tag like, hmm, say...."nomadlife", then we could have a nomadlife pictures page section on the main page. This page would recieve the "nomadlife" feed stream from flickr, so it would be constantly updated with any new images that any of us upload. even most simply, at the bottom or top or borders of the main nomadlife group page, we could have a thumbnails constantly updating of our photos from the flickr feed.
I hope this makes some sense. It could be friggin fantastic. " (Tom Gara)

This is very cool, I've been thinking about the whole "categories" thing... if we agreed on some standard "categories" or "tags" for used by all in nomadlife we could index certain pictures very easily. I'm going to put more thoughts on wiki. Very nice Tom.
