| Update the service document to accept image types
| In progress
| The service document should indicate that it accepts images. When image data is posted to the collection, it should be accepted and a "success" response should be returned. (In the backend, it can simply perform a no-op at this time.)
|
|-
| Backend changes required to store images
| Unstarted
| There are some database and backend changes required to store the uploaded images and make them available for use.
|
|-
| Update the service document to return the complete list of images available (when requested)
| Unstarted
| The complete list of images stored in the gl_article_images table should be accessible via WS so that they can be edited or used in articles.
|
|-
| Allow editing of image metadata using the webservices API
| Unstarted
| Some information related to the image can be changed later and the webservices API should support this.
| 
|-
| Support additional filters for retrieving list of images (optional)
| Unstarted
| The API might be able to support additional filters, such as getting only recent images, fetching thumbnails etc. These might be interesting features to look into.
