Re: WWP enhancements for 07

New viewing technology will only lead to incompatibility with a lot of
panos we have now. With such a large number of contributions (exploring
special techniques within the existing viewer) from different people I
see no chance to move to a different viewer. One more viewer to choose
from will cause frustrated guests.
I'd like to have all (and I think of every event) panos with good
keywords. Volunteers could tag several contributions each with keywords
from a set that is set up in advance, like landscape (forest, mountain,
desert,...), traffic (trains, cars, ferries, aircraft,...), art (comic,
dream, fantasy,...). Also another two or three sets of keywords:
technique (by camera, lens type, fov, poleshots, macro, film/digital),
date/time, coordinates.
So we explore panos by time / technique / part of the world (ok, we have
the map for that), and are there panos shot at the same time?
Imagine a pano and (for all events) not only one button for the next
pano (alphabetical) but also Next (with this type of camera), Next
(coordinates), Random...
I'd also love to have a world map with one or two steps more inside a
part of the world. We now have such a big number of panos in several
spots of the world. Google Earth is great but I'd like to zoom in more
inside the worldwidepanorama!
