Hi Rich, Tom I'll list the errant photos of species here.
Hi Rich, Tom A couple more photo errors spotted. Salix myrsinites photo 1/3 is actually a photo of Salix repens Salix lapponum photo 2/3 appears to be Salix lanata cheers Pete
@japonicus - have you had any thoughts on my proposal to change the handling of images/credits?
Another photo to change. Juncus compressus photo is of J. tenuis I think. I have pics of J. compressus. Can we get this ball rolling soonish, please?
A few more photo errors in the gallery:
Rather than a never-ending thread, or separate issues, please use this spreadsheet to deal with photo management: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UC3qllQ6Svg-coQg4myB_MM8I-PTWSPKS9v3ZXhs2UA/edit?usp=sharing
This has one sheet for taxa lacking images, and another to document problems with existing photos. Please use that to organise actions with regards to errors and new photos. I have transferred any existing errors listed above. Please edit in the sheet if any of these are already dealt with.
I suggest that we aim for a new export of info for the Atlas website at the end of the year (i.e. Dec., 2024). If anyone wants to add new photos or edit in the DDb before then, then I assume they should consult Tom for access.
From Pete: "I'm starting to get a very small influx of new photos for a few species - only 4 or 5 photos at the moment - but is there an efficient and simple way of dealing with these, so that it's not all ad hoc?"
As it stands, it not very straightforward. The original process was:
If there are going to be frequent updates, we want to avoid steps 3 & 4 which involved regenerating all caption data for all taxa.
Since there are likely to be fairly regular updates/additions to the images then this image/credit data is completely unlike the other caption data which is, essentially, fixed and I think we need to handle it separately. So I propose:
At the moment Rich would do the last step, but it would be better to provide credentials to Tom so that he can do it directly.
