Prerequisites

• http://tracker.trollfot.org/svn/projects/dolmen/dolmen.buildout/
• http://codespeak.net/lxml/lxmlhtml.html

We need to install a bunch of Debian packages (also known as .deb).

• subversion build-essential python2.5-dev libjpeg62-dev libxslt-dev python-libxml2 libxml2-dev python-lxml
• it should be possible to do bulk uploads for images/video/audio/files/etc. files e.g. I came home with my cam from a trip, download the images and make one bulk upload of tens of images into a dolmen gallery
• seed files (e.g. images, videos, etc.) via Bittorrent
• the possibility to add/edit metadata on various content types e.g. give folks the possibility to add notes to an image "This image was taken during a hiking tour with Tina in the Austrian Alps during summer 2009."
• make content purchasable (e.g. via annotations); I know that this is headed towards some e-commerce add-on but then core dolmen or rather its content types should have some "notion of I can be bought" or not ... it is then of course up to some e-commerce add-on to make use of that information stored with content types. The reason why this consideration is important from the beginning is because, adding it later on is going to be a lot more work and might result in an ugly outcome.
  • purchasable in this regard might then be decided by a particular e-commerce add-on ... one that might sell content via a membership or maybe one that might simply work as the usual on-line shop with shippable items etc.
