Bill -- This is a good topic for the -devel mailing list so I'm cc'ing them. I appreciate the offer. We'd like to get Gallery working on a database backend in a big way, and are shooting for an overall redesign in G2 that will provide us with the right architecture to move forward (instead of grafting something totally insane onto what we already have). Perhaps the most useful thing you could do for now would be to review and critique the G2 dev documents (you can find them on the gallery home page). The more eyes reviewing the proposed architecture the better. Once we're sure it's going to work we can move forward with implementing it. -Bharat > -----Original Message----- > From: Bill Williamson [mailto:ba...@ha...] > Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2002 10:06 AM > To: bh...@fu... > Subject: gallery > > > I've been subbed to the gallery-users list for a while now, > generally trying > to help people out. > > I notice you mention quite often that you're swamped with RL > stuff.
