adding images as a note - list-it server side source code?

[Alexandre Dulaunoy]

Hi,

I'm just playing a little bit with list-it and the application looks
very nice to use.
I especially like the uncluttered user interface and how you can drag-
and-drop links
inside the extension.

I have two questions :

- Would it possible to display an image (thumbnail) when drag-dropping
an image? We are used
while working to take a picture of whiteboards to remember about
system/network design or code
experiments.

- Regarding the Django server-side code, I was wondering where is the
source code available? I wanted
to test a bridging option between wiki and notes taking. To share
publicly notes on a specific topic.

Thanks for your great work,

See ya,

Hi Alexandre,

1. Good suggestion. That seems like a good idea to make image drag and
capture more immediately useful. As you probably are aware listit
doesn't actually store images in its database (currently) -- we didn't
actually design it to handle images at all. We were happy when one of
our users figured it out and told us the developers how to do it! But
now some of us on the dev team (Katrina) use it pretty regularly. So
yea, i'll add it to the google code buglist page, thanks for the
input.

2. Yes we are quite behind on that. Everyone is currently gone on
spring break here at MIT for a week but we will work towards making
that happen when everyone gets back. The only major todo on that
front is separating some study code from the server code; we ran an
experiment last September which required aggregating server side
statistics about note use. We'd like to factor that out into a
separate optional bit so that it doesn't confuse people.

thanks for using listit and please check out the 0.4.0 release we
released last night ;)

Great. Thanks a lot.

Sure. If this is a separated project, that's better. Maybe a basic
documentation
regarding the "sync protocol" and "reconciliation" could be nice,
that would allow people to develop their own server or implementation
to
bridge notes to/from other places (like wiki, microblogging or ...
scanned postit(tm)).

For what I understood, the main sync logic and ReST interface is
there :

http://code.google.com/p/list-it/source/browse/trunk/src/firefox/listit/chrome/content/listit/synchronize.js

I still need to figure out how the serialization is working between
the UI/sync protocol and the plum store in SQLite.

But the overall design looks very nice.

I just updated to r1 (a small note on the Google code page, it's still
the beta version).

Again thanks for your great work,

Have a nice day,
