Here's a rough spec from the forum discussions:
1) Before entering records, a user can authenticate onto Flickr if they have a
Flickr
account.
2) When authenticated, during data entry they have a search box which allows
them to
identify one of their own Flickr photos (which presumably should be a public
one) to
link to the record. We could possible provide auto-complete for the photos the
user
has recently taken and uploaded to help this.
3) When they do this the date of the record is automatically set to the date the
photo was taken. A thumbnail of the image appears with the image's title and
description in editable fields.
4) If the photo has a geotag, then the spatial reference control for the record
is
also set when the photo is linked.
5) When they save the occurrence, if they have changed the title and
description then
these are saved back to Flickr. Updating the geotag and date taken could also be
considered, but should probably be optional.
6) Also allow a user who has selected and uploaded a photo to push the photo
plus
information derived from the record (title, tags, geotag etc) up to their
Flickr account.
7) Provide facilities to search Flickr for photos of the selected species,
and/or at
the selected place.

This has now been partially implemented. There is a flickr helper class which
covers
points 1, 2, 3, 4 but not 5,6,7.
