Susette: people are starting to accumulate a lot of images that may be work-related and they may be starting to accumulate them in ways and we are now all forced to have the phone as part of work because of two-part authentication – We need a system for managing work related images. VRWG could play a role in training people in keeping them and the metadata. OCR-ing images from the phone.
