I've been trying to figure out how to turn a wiki into a *good* photo
album for a while.  I think the plugin stuff and file uploads could do
most of it.

For file uploads i'd like files associated with a particular page, and
each page should have a list of the files associated at the bottom (the
way twiki does it is pretty cool).

Then for the actual gallery maybe a new page type (maybe pages like this
GalleryAdamBirthday2001) and then have the gallery plugin parse the
attached files into a gallery format.  The best I can think of is have the
plugin automatically generate thumbnails if they don't already exist and
then take arguemtns for display values:

<?plugin Gallery AutoThumb=yes Columns=4 Thumbs=128x128 ?>

Clicking on a thumbnail would then pop the full size picture up in a new
window, and the new window would also allow you to go from picture to
picture slide show fashion.

having some way to reference images in the gallery could also be useful
(maybe via some InterWiki magic?) so you can referrence full size pictures
or the thumbnails via wiki links for inclusion in other pages.

anyway, still just thinking outloud.
