As photographer myself, I've been thinking around this a bit - it would be really great to have a lot more images on OGL - a thousand words and all that, and to be honest it would make it look a lot more accessible. Ideally some central image storage would be great, but access to all would be a problem. Some kind of pre-registration to get ftp upload permission? A web interface that requires basic personal info to be added? I'm not any kind of programmer, so I can only suggest that to the clever people here...
This is not going to happen unless you get someone to take personal responsibility for writing it. I think it's a very good idea. I'm not trying to be negative here, just realistic. Coming up with good ideas is wonderful but you need to get hold of a programmer who will (a) promise to write the code (this bit is easy) and (b) actually do it.
I'm not volunteering; I'm hardly well enough to get out of the house most days let alone think.
