Short description of the idea (140 character tweet):
A website where users can review historic photos of Orlando and the surrounding area.
What is your project concept or idea? What challenge or opportunity will it solve?
There is a dedicated community of people interested in preserving Orlando's history. This website would allow users to upload photos to be included in a historic photo gallery. They could optionally be geotagged so users can view a map and see historic photos taken in their general area. If the general public were allowed to upload images we would need a moderation tool to allow admins to approve photos.
Uploaded photos could include the following information:
Image file
Title
Description
Coordinates / Address
Date photo was taken
