Xophoto

Origins

The XO could be a valuable tool in the developing world for social networking and visual communication. This project is conceived to facilitate the transfer of images from the XO journal to online destinations.

Limited Objectives

In order to achieve this objective in the shortest time span possible, the first release of XoPhoto will incorporate the following features:

1. Import from camera or phone via the linux toolkit "Gphoto2" into the journal.
2. Import from SD or USB flash drives.
3. Create subsets of the images from the journal into album subsets.
4. Provide limited capability to rotate, or crop images.
5. Export albums to folders that are accessible to Browse, and thereby, to online destinations.

Implementation Details

• Using pygame as development platform
• Sqlite as storage medium for intermediate storage
