GGS Photo Site Newsletter No 14
http://www.greenhill-gs.co.uk
To the surprise of absolutely no one ( who has been following recent
correspondence) I have posted the next two photos from the 1954 Maude
Wild album (ie 4 photos in all). Form 4.Y, Ken Petford and 4.Z, Ken
Cooper. There are now so many ways to access photos on the site
please use your own preferred route, they are all set up.
Just to prove that making mistakes while naming photos is nothing
new; there is an omission in the names given for the girls to our
left of Ken Petford in the 4.Y photo. Any assistance gratefully
received.
Events have happened so quickly recently following the success of the
CameoFind system, a lot of things need to be considered before
carrying on to the next stage.
CameoFind demonstrates for the first time just how inconsistent the
naming of the same people in different photos has been. This is to be
expected of course and, probably, preserved to some extent. Myself,
Ken and anyone else interested will have a little debate on the ins
and outs of standardisation, with a view to developing an informal
site policy on this.
The new system has made the old 57 & 62 name indices obsolete and
they been removed. In due course, I will probably have to rewrite
several of the "About" pages to accommodate the changes.
Finally, we believe the machinery behind CameoFind is capable of
quite a bit more than we are using at the moment. Again, myself and
Ken have a few trials planned to establish just how feasible the
plans are, and how much adjustment to existing material is required
to achieve this potential.
Apart from that, we have pumped so much data into the system now that
my old methods of updating it are no longer appropriate. So I have
some language code to learn.
Things may be a little quiet on the Photo Site front now till after
Christmas
