Regular visitors to this blog may already be aware of a photo community site I run called Lost in Focus (www.lostinfocus.org). It’s a site that I started a few years ago to get away from the typical photosharing sites that I had grown frustrated with and has quietly grown to a dozen or so wonderful contributors.

It’s been about a year since I made the last major improvements to that site and this time round I thought it’d be a good idea to solicit ideas from everyone (and not just current LIF members) for imrpovements… If you were not limited by imagination or time, how would you like to see this site improved? Suggestions can be anything really. To give some ideas, they might include:

• Features requests (I have one from Scott – email notifcations for threads he’s commented on)
• Ideas for the format / design of the site (although if you suggest a banner, you’re automatically agreeing to design it :)
• Suggestions for content (e.g. articles, news, favourite photographers, guest writers)
• Ideas on how (and if) to involve a broader community (something around Facebook?)
• Or maybe even just talking about the things you love, like or hate about this site

Put your thinking caps on folks! I can’t commit to taking everything on – this is more idea solicitation currently – but I’ll take in every suggestion, figure out what’s possible (or not) and try to come up with a plan to add another layer of polish. You can contribute to thread over on the site.
