Are there more? Let us know!
2) Where were you when you took that photo?
Now, if desired, you can manually enter the Lat/Lng of where your image was taken. While it is possible to add the Geoposition to the Exif before upload to ipernity, this new feature allows you to input the data after upload. If the coordinates are available, this direct input method may be easier than using the map interface.
3) In memoria.
Your ima team.
If anyone is interested in administering a 'day of the week' group that has an inactive administrator, please let the team know via a ticket.
In my opinion, any procedure is only good if it is largely automatic. Anything else overburdens our community. The human involvement in processing would have to be significantly reduced compared to the current procedure.
of which 1922 have been in-active for over 1 year,
and 1081 for over 2 years.
Writing a routine to demote them will take a good deal more effort that those quick queries.
In reality, this is much more than just sending 1922 (1081) emails. It involves waiting for replies, following up, addressing special requests, and dealing with long correspondence. Even with dedication, managing two groups per week is realistic, meaning the total volume might take over 10 years for one person to process.
For example, I took on the mosses and lichens group when Neira-Dan passed away. I cleaned it up, added all seven languages, and tried to merge it with the Nature of Lichens and Mosses group. Despite contacting the Admin on August 3 and September 19, 2024, I’ve received no response, leaving me stuck. I’ll also need to find a new admin afterwards, as my involvement was purely to assist the ima-team, not due to personal interest in the topic. Finding an admin will likely be another time-consuming task.
Frustrations like these will arise constantly for anyone in this role. It’s understandable why someone would hesitate to take it on.
