Anyone interested in being included in a new group on the forum?
We could then (I believe!) PM all members of the “Image Enthusiasts” group. This could keep side-chatter off the main gallery thread while allowing us to plan other things - like an Image Resources Wiki…
No worries if there’s no interest. It shouldn’t be too difficult to set-up, though.
If you’re interested, lemme know. Thanks!
I agree and this sounds like a really good idea, I am interested, count me in 
For this reason alone I think it’s a great idea.
If there was only some kind of prelude to TL3 access, say, an invited proving ground - a kind of foyer.
Those links aren’t available for everyone that you shared (maybe that was the point?).
Where do I sign? Blood? Ink? Digital?
I would be interested. so much fun and lots to learn.
Guilty as charged with the side chatter. But images are fun 
Yeah - that’s probably best, Paul.
So the rest of us who don’t sign up will have to wait for the grand reveal?
Exciting!
So let’s start asking questions like…
Do we want the gallery to be a polished output?
Should we display our failure-mode images in the group rather than in the gallery?
What are some core things we could focus on in such a group?
Should we do a workshop, or are we really just putting the collab and extra chatter here so that we can continue with a polished gallery thread?
I personally am ok with whatever the gang decides…
I typically do better playing off your ideas than trying to force mine into a room.
What….you’re not signing up??
Yes.
Feel free to ping me if needed, but I probably cannot help much since you guys are the image experts.
Well you will probably be there in the background either way, so feel free to fleek in whenever (if none of us is not pinging 
you first that is).
Okay! Maybe we could give the new “Image Enthusiasts” group access to the foyer too?
I’ll need to get an admin to create the group, but that shouldn’t take too long. It’s the weekend, so I’ll try to get it done next week. Once it’s created, I believe I can manually add people.
Do you two want added too?
@VeitB ?
@_j ?
I think that would be better and more practical option, than PM group
At least what I’ve seen from those previous foyer groups.
sounds good - would be great to part of!
I’m playing with ways to feasibly make a ChatGPT group project both fun and useful.
Maybe someone’s got ideas, I know I have a few…
If it’s limited to 20 files, with 5 that are left empty for times when a person in the group would like to analyze a style for its appropriate semantic calls, or other session boot strap art games and testing…
I think 20 is still a really good number, it carries a large amount of ‘modular creativity’…
Most of the upgrades that happen to the web access, I don’t ever see a whole lot of documentation for, unless it’s in hindsight.
I know it’s like API lite - but there’s an added layer of security for me or whoever would attempt such a thing… having all files uploaded that you didn’t control, shared with the server…
I’m not liable for my access or key for something someone shouldn’t have uploaded or whatever…
Just tossing this in here if anyone’s got any thoughts.
What we can do, once we get things going on here is to have a few set goals for the week, and once we have gathered relevant data, info, prompts we want to work with, then we can documented in either the Wiki or Forum. We could also have a git repo if needed for such things. And then we can use the ChatGPT group as a living workspace.
When I started working on the “issues” with DallE 3, the better solution would actually have been a wiki to organize the collected findings.
In a forum, that is difficult. The best I could do was collect everything on the first page, but if I am absent for a while, which has happened, nobody else can continue working on that first page. Also some users will probably simply overlook that first page.
If Discord had a wiki function, it would be easier…
Maybe only available to users with some respect, because a wiki maybe turn in to a mess. (I not work in wikipedia anymore, i not like the stress.)
I don’t know that we’ll need a git repo immediately, and if we get to that point, we’ll likely want to keep it in-house.
I’m willing to put forth time to build whatever we decide on, but I am slightly against letting the world have access to currently worked on secrets ^.^

There are two aspects, collected information on images as theory and then the practice. A Git repository can host a MD file with the expanation of prompts, snippets and strictures that are API ready or ChatGPT ready. But it’s harder for normal or early starting developer to get a grasp, the wiki here is a better choice. Eventually a github repo with a frontpage, could be the compromise.
Would be like a cook-book addendum, sort of speak, curated by the members of the group.
