http://ookaboo.com/ I've got an amazing image acquisition pipeline that finds thousands of images a day with little human intervention, but there's barely any user-visible categorization, the navigation sux, the full text search sux, and there's a lot of infrastructral stuff that sux too, but at least you can't see it. Not only that, but to make the site successful I need to promote it to the sky. I expect to chip aw…

I really like this site! Good job.

http://www.distobs.org/ Using the CCDs on Androids or iPhones to detect cosmic rays, and in the process making the world's largest cosmic ray telescope (see http://www.auger.org for the most similar big physics project). Unfortunately, this project has been dead for awhile now.

This is an absolutely fascinating idea. Why have you stopped working on it? I know that astronomy fans are a small subset of HN readers, but this is the most interesting project I've heard of in a while.

Thanks! I just had too much on my plate at the time, and the hobby project got cut first. If you'd like to help with it, all the source is here: http://github.com/cloudchamber/Distributed-Observatory/

Can you take the create table sql statements and create a complete web application? I.e. sql queries ( if there are foreign key relationships - automatically construct the inner joins ?) to insert, view, update then expose the SQL queries in the target language (my target language is C++) as an API which can be called from the Business layer, automatically construct the User interface ( for example - Web UI/ Text UI…

Rails scaffolding does this for Rails. You need to provide a way to implement custom functionality on these pages though.

Nice. Have you thought about some integrated click-to-call? (And add border:0; to your images.)

Hey thanks for the feedback! What browser/OS are you on?

Firefox 3.6.11 MacOS

The issue I'm seeing is on the logo, btw.

(Checkout browserlab.adobe.com for testing btw.)

http://nextsprocket.com Pay and get paid to complete open source tasks, bugs, etc. We are having trouble figuring out why the idea is not catching on. Is it fundamentally the idea of paying for open source, the traction or other?

A major problem with it for me is the high complexity to low pay for most of the projects I see.
