This may not be star wars related, but for a professional web developer its one of those simple ideas that sounds so promising. So start here to get the basics.

The Library of Congress is much like the Jedi Archives - a vast collection of information. The LoC has teamed up with photo site flickr to gain more information on some of its vast material. It gives everyday people a chance to contribute information via flickr. A good idea is never enough and the key to any social network is that people participate. Let's hope it works!
