Neat, what event is that Field Papers image from?

CmdrKerfy commented 9 years ago

It's a great picture from a mapping party in Penza, Russia. We got the image from the Field Papers "About" page: http://fieldpapers.org/about.php.

All images will have appropriate credit (and links) once we update the URLs on basket.

is there a reason why the images are being housed in an issue thread instead up uploaded into a folder on the repository?

CmdrKerfy commented 9 years ago

We initially had them in a standard "images" folder, but it was suggested (by Mikel, maybe?) that we use this method so that users not comfortable with the pull/push aspect of Git could still update the site. As far as we know, this is the only method to host images on GitHub without pulling the whole repo, adding images to the folder, and pushing it back. We've also used other image hosting sites like Flickr and Imgur in the past.

won't someone have to pull/push to add the posts in the fist place? or is it thought that they might use something like prose.io?

wuhland commented 9 years ago

Yea we were thinking prose could be used by folks who dont feel comfortable with git. Or just create a new file in the _posts folder and edit markdown in github. Seemed to work reasonably well for the tracing guide. I know at least one person who was adding tips and without messing around with git at all.

github now allows uploading files through the web interface for the repo
