Margareth (and all), congratulations on the initiative! I registered to experiment with the service. As a serious non-professional photographer, besides a researcher in SW, I feel it is still too "basic". As you know, I have thousands of photos online, mostly on Flickr. I've spent a large amount of precious time tagging and geo-tagging these images. It would be simply impractical for me to enter again all this information... the minimum I would expect is that you are able to import the EXIF data (Ivan Herman has written a program for this [1], for example; there's been a flickr wrapper around for awhile [2]). In addition, for services like Flickr and others that have an API, I would want the additional data imported as well, if only as a starting point to begin refining and adding semantics (e.g., people tags would be very useful). Until such a function is available, I'm afraid I won't have the time to add any photos, sorry. I hope you have already realized this and it is in the works ;-)!
