Well, it is technically possible, but it doesn't work at the
moment. Perl on Win32 is somewhat sketchy, and Postgres on Win32
is (AFAIK) _not_ a recommended platform (you need to build with
cygwin and junk like that). With that in mind, no one has bothered
to make the PhotoShelf (v1) code UNIX-independant, so I would imagine
there are things like '/' hardcoded, etc. Porting to actual PS
code to Win32 wouldn't be difficult at all -- I just question
whether it's a good idea to be running PS on Win32 in the first
place.

Yes, it's probably good to do multi-lingualization. I've never
really done it, so I can't suggest any technical details, but it
would be a good thing to have, provided it's technically feasible
(what is the state of Unicode in Perl 5.6?).

Your offer of help is appreciated -- thanks.

Hello again: just a comment to your answer,

* Basically, I don't like microsoft products.
* My question about PS and win32 is becouse at this time is obligatory
for me to think in a win server. I mean: the ISP (a friend of mine)
where I can put my domain/pages -totally free- works only with win32,
and I cannot change this. It's a pity :-((
* I like PS and I would like to use it to make an  spanish community to
show/interchange pictures and experiences about photography.

So I'm so interested in PS version 2 with new features: running new
platforms (you know ;-)) and multilingual support (you know I can help
with translations into spanish). I can contribute with more ideas and
features for PS...

See you...
