Tagging people in photos
Hi all, my first post here.
I talked about photos in general in the development Google group but I would like to focus here on tagging people (contacts) in individual photos in Diaspora. I'm surprised this subject hasn't come up (from what I could find) - I think photos are basically what drives social networks, and tagging encourages people to share and comment on them. To make Diaspora truly social it is a must IMHO. Currently many people upload artistic photos but not so much of their friends, vacations, etc. For anyone coming from Facebook, even if he is aware of its big shortcomings, the lack of this feature will be very noticeable and may be a "deal breaker". I'm not a dev myself (I do have some website admin and setup experience) but I would like to see this being added, maybe even given a high priority. What do you think?

If it weren't for points 3 and 4, this would be a no vote. I think photo tagging is annoying. I don't like photo tagging at all, but if someone wants to waste their time developing, I'm not stopping them unless it affects us without our consent.

Strongly against it.
There's no need to integrate it in diaspora*.
If people like, they should use a specialised service for doing so.

As I said before I don't think this is a necessary feature but I won't stop anyone from implementing it.

Tagging photos is an awful, invasive feature from FB and I really wouldn't want it in D*. However, if potential privacy leaks were locked down, I would not block it. Otherwise, my vote is NO.

Many positive aspects for social, few negatives

I think this is unnecesary, because we can already @ mention whoever we want when making a post (and uploading a photo) with all the privacy politics we already have.
Also, all devs must be very careful about privacy when coding this: so difficult

Personally I see no need for that kind of feature but I wouldn't mind if if it will be implemented privacy aware. Maybe it will help to attract more user...

we're not on facebook and tagging is very annoying.

Changing my vote. Tagging photos is an awful, invasive feature from FB and I really wouldn't want it in D*. We have @-mentions in D* if someone wants to 'tag' someone else. Let's leave it at that and not introduce some other, unnecessary system.
