use better Flickr streams in tests/demos

[alex]

many of the Dojo test pages use images from Shane's original Flickr Store links:

​http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dojox/image/tests/

These should be updated with more up-to-date/attractive images from Flickr pools. For example:

​http://www.flickr.com/groups/best100only/pool/ ​http://flickr.com/search/?q=nature&w=all

Or perhaps every photo tagged with dojotoolkit ? ​http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=all&q=dojotoolkit&m=text We need to get everyone to update their tags to use dojotoolkit as a lot of photos are tagged just as dojo which conflicts with the karate space.

hrm....I think the goal is to ensure that we benefit from the attractiveness bias that beautiful images provide. We're too scrupulous to go and rip off Apple or Microsoft's artwork (unlike every other toolkit), so the least we can do is to spot ourselves an advantage on this one. Pictures of people fighting seems like it won't really help us here.

[dylan]

I'm not disagreeing... that's why I said dojotoolkit tagged images, not dojo tagged images (so that we don't get the fighting images). You're right that the top images are probably more aesthetically pleasing, but also having a demo showing off dojo events and such would at least seem like a good promo for the next dojo dev day, or as something to include on the contributors page, etc.

(In [14028]) first whack at style updates for the FlickrRestStore?. Still need to extend it to search groups and pools effectively. Refs #6970

And there I though putting in all those hours of work writing these things would be a good way to drive traffic to my Flickr photos....

as per today's meeting, punting these core bugs

[dante]

i still want to do this overall, but it isn't simple task in reality.

i'm trying to identify stale tickets. if there is a need to keep this ticket open, please replace the "needsreview" keyword with "reviewed". if there is no need to keep this ticket open then please close it.

Sounds like this can be closed. The test files are just for testing so it doesn't matter much what images they use. As for the demos, the only places I see flickr mentioned in "demos" are for DTL, dojox/data, and dojox/wire, all of which are essentially deprecated.
