Just wanted to throw a quick note to those out there that have been interested in the ImagesByName Project – I have a growing list of those that have filled out the necessary contact form, but have not responded to the DropBox invite.

!You must accept the Dropbox invitation in order to be issued files!

Once you accept the Dropbox invite, I will add you to the email distribution group and your files will start coming in.  As of right now, there are eight (8) people on the wait list that have not accepted the invite.  We need your help!

Also, several of you have signed up for the new Wiki Project, but have not started contributing.  I understand time is not always kind (and many of you are IBN Project contributors, so I can understand you haven’t had a chance yet), but it needs some love!  So please, if you’d like to contribute some content, head on over to the Wiki Project site, sign-up and add a page or two!

We still need more contributors, so if you have some spare time, please head over the Project Page and sign-up.

I have sent files to the first few contributors of the new ImagesByName Project.  Im sure that in the early-goings, there will be plenty of changes, but that is to be expected as we learn how to manage a project of this size.  Currently we are working from a pool of 14,288 actor images and I have no estimate of how many of those need to be reworked.

The work file size has been designated at 100 images per archive, which is only around 1.5MB.  The completion period for each work file has been set at 2 weeks, so there should be plenty enough time to complete one in spare time without getting burned out.

Considering the sheer number of files, we should have plenty of packages available to last quite a while, so sign-up for one now!  The more help we get, the sooner we wipe these things out!

After mulling around on the topic for a few days, the project has come up with some concerns that we feel take precedence over just offering downloads right away.  The biggest issue is the quality of actor images.  I will explain… (Continue Reading...)

I’ve just uploaded an update to the ImagesByName actors.  It includes 292 new actor images and is about 10MB in size.  You can get it in the Downloads section.  Mirror will be available soon.

I also want to say that the ImagesByName Subfolder Project on the Media Browser forums may soon be hosted here.  They have been doing a terrific job as of late creating, collecting and organizing images for all ImagesByName subfolders.  However, it appears that my modest little actors package is the one that gets most of the link-backs from the more popular sites, so I decided to reach out to them in hopes of hosting their packages here where they may get a much wider audience (while giving you many more options).

Check back often as things materialize on that front…I may have to create a new dedicated page for that project if it gets off the ground.
