TokkiProject is going to be known as Lightbox7. Originally I wanted Lightbox, but the owners wouldn't sell, and you can see it's being well-used.

In any case, I tried to do too much with TokkiProject. It tried to be a hybrid between a photographer's site and the casual digital camera's owner.

I've decided to try to scale things back with Lightbox; it will be geared towards the digital camera owner who wants to share his or her pictures online. The photographer's site can come later once I have the resources and the "brand name recognition."

The big key for Lightbox is for ease of use; the control panel UI has to be incredibly easy to use. The features have to be "dumbed down" ... but the big critical thing is that it *must* be interoperable (at least in a one-way relationship) with Tabulas.

It must also be able to syndicate data via XML (maybe Atom?) ... it would be nice to build a frontend PHP app that would interact with Lightbox and serve images off our server but be parsed on someone's personal domain.

So the goals of Lightbox (in order of importance):

1.) Be an easy place for the casual digital camera user to be able to upload images.
2.) Interoperate with Tabulas for photo "archiving"
3.) Full syndication of data that can be parsed with a home-written app

Hopefully Borst will sign on to build a C# app that can work as a drag-and-drop interface for the site.
