I've moved my code out of CVS into gnu arch (http://www.gnuarch.org/ - a distributed revision control system) and started using actual version numbers rather than just dates. Also note that the page footer contains a globally unique source tree identifier that can be used to reconstruct the source tree from which your instance was built.

I'm looking forward to stylesheets from people who are better web developers than I, so download, and send them on.

Enough of the installation procedure is finished that anyone who can perform basic operations with PostgreSQL and run a servlet engine should be capable of bringing up their own photo album.
