This presentation summarized the Friends for Peace project run by the American Friends Service Committee. The project allowed users to upload photos to the website which would then be displayed on the homepage in a random slideshow, or mapped on Google Maps in a way that preserved anonymity. The upload process had three steps and moderators could approve, reject, or escalate images to administrators along with a reason. Administrator views provided more statistics and oversight than moderator views.

All images are stored on Flickr, and are tagged “FriendsforPeace.org”. Clicking on any image will take the user to the image on Flickr (per the terms of service for the Flickr API).
The images can also be shown on Google Maps. The location of the image is shifted randomly a few degrees off the center of the submitters zip code; this prevents exact locations from being shared.
The upload wizard has three steps. As you complete each set, the sample on the left is updated to match your information.
Moderators and Administrators have a separate section, that allows them to see the most recent blog posts, and system statistics. The administrator’s view is show here, the moderators see fewer tabs.
If the moderator rejects the image, or forwards it to an administrator they are given a chance to give a reason. This allows the administrators to review the reasoning for each image if a concern arises later. The database also tracks which moderators approved an image, and the user’s management page show summary information about their performance.
