Suggested improvements from the Bristol end.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

- allow users to upload photos/ embed video on their page.

- introduce an editorial log to keep track of stuff.

- Other things are obvious: make the admin page "nicer". Etc etc.
Obviously there's no pressure to make this happen, but thought you
might be interested.

In general, specific atomic requests are easier to discuss :) So this could be 
split
into three.

I'm not sure we're up for giving users control of their own areas. We take
responsibility for what's published (obviously in collaboration with the
organisations). We don't want some business giving a load of marketing, or 
someone
spouting nonsense, and we want to spell and quality check the text. Also, we're 
not
trying to provide free customisable web-space hosting for every organisation, 
it's
too hard, and not what this is designed for. It's obviously more overhead to 
start
dealing with individual logins and passwords for every organisation, most of 
whom
will never use it. I think that video has limited use for a local guide, you'd 
have
to be pretty hardcore! It sounds like you want to use this for more of a 
general CMS;
I don't think it's something that we'll be writing anytime soon. Let me know if 
I'm
wrong.

HOWEVER I can see it being useful in the current system to allow someone to 
upload a
photo as a suggestion for their page (for moderation), maybe with some clever
re-sizing, or warning them that it's big, or just allowing it through and 
having an
admin edit it down. Maybe log this as a separate issue if you think it needs 
addressing.

Editorial log - do you mean you want to see who's editing what, as a trust 
thing? The
group of editors has always been small and because we're taking responsibility 
for
the listings ourselves, we've trusted each other to write and review listings. 
We use
a wiki to document major decisions. What do you have in mind? Maybe log it as a
separate request.

"nicer" - unfortunately there's no objective measure of this :)  if you have 
specific
suggestions, feel free to log them separately.

I've split out uploading photos to be issue 22. Feel free to split out other 
bits of
this.
