The problem is that I don't want to add any more roadblocks to the upload process - it should be as 'instant' as possible. Even the 'public' vs. 'unlisted' selection took quite some consideration.
Perhaps crowdsourcing metadata might be an idea - but that involves quite a bit more complexity, implementation-wise.
- walterbell 12y agoHow about an "edit metadata" button linked to the submitter's session cookie, which is only active for a few minutes, similar to HN post editing? For those who don't care, upload process stays the same. Those who want to edit have the option, within a few mins.
- ratpik 12y agoWhy not build a re-CAPTCHA type service around crowd sourcing PDF metadata. Read a PDF while you wait for something to happen. Too idealistic?
