[PHPix2-devel] Try Gallery -- blatant plug (was re: IDS)

[Mediratta, B. <bh...@fu...>]

Hey all.  I was browsing the list archives and noticed the
thread about PHPix2 going away.  :-(  I'm sorry to hear it.
I've installed and played with different versions of it and
was generally impressed with the design and engineering.
If you're thinking about recommending another project to 
potential users, may I suggest that you take a look at 
Gallery?  

	http://gallery.sourceforge.net

Gallery's philosophy is somewhat different than PHPix2, but 
I think it's a very good product.  I'm the founder and main 
developer, so I'm somewhat biased.  See for yourself and 
make up your own mind.

Gallery is a very active project and is in widespread use 
with over 13K installs out of 145K+ downloads).  It works 
inside PostNuke and PHP-Nuke.  Folks have written wrappers 
to integrate it into PhpBB2 and Geeklog also.  

Gallery 1 (the current version) is release quality, but is
really just a prototype.  Now that we understand what our 
users actually want we're in the process of rebuilding the 
product from  the ground up including using a real database, 
a template engine, the ability to store metadata of your 
choice, easily embed it into other applications like 
PostNuke, external authentication, etc.
