Hello Leif
 
You have an interesting suggestion but there is a large legacy of  
information that Steve has generously consented to be custodian for and he  has 
provided us all with a great service in doing so. I am not certain what  the 
right answer is. Perhaps the IPC could provide such as page as you suggest  so 
that it would be one stop shopping so to speak. 
 
Just some thoughts...

Technetters,

First of all I want to emphasize that the  suggestion in this email is 
not at all meant as criticism of Steve and his  efforts in uploading 
pictures and maintaining that site. I realize Steve  has to make a living 
and may not be able to post pictures as quickly as we  need at times. I 
have learned so much from these pics so that is why this  is important to 
me. I am suggestion a more automatic approach. This  solution will allow 
us to view pictures instantly. If the consensus is  that the current 
system is good enough I do not have a problem with  that.

My suggestion is to use Google Picasa Web albums. This is a free  service 
created to allow sharing of photos. It also allows pictures to be  posted 
by email. There is a specific email address that is unique to each  
account. For my personal web album I send an email  to
llaerum.<secretword>@picasaweb.com. I am using this quite a bit to  shate 
photos with friends and family. The pictures gets posted within a  minute 
or two. The pictures get posted with a caption that is the subject  of 
the email. of the email. All we would have to do when posting pics is  to 
copy the "post-to-picasa" email address. Google gives you 1 Gigabyte of  
storage so we would have to employ some management and remove the oldest  
pictures. The only drawback is that Picasa does not allow documents  
which on occasion would be nice.

I am not sure if the admin of  technet would have to concur before 
setting this up? I would like to have  some sort of "thumbs up" from the 
owners of the technet email reflector  before setting this up. I 
volunteer to be the admin.
