To preface: I’ve been using Gallery for years, since the 1.2.x days. I don’t like how bloated it has become, and the myriad of security issues one faces by having it installed (ironic, as I run a phpBB support board, I know).

I’ve opted to throw together a homebrew system, which is currently replacing Gallery. Please note that it is still in it’s infancy, and the initial display/thumbnail system is all that is fully coded. The picture viewing system is incomplete, and I will rewrite the code to use Apache’s mod_rewrite to keep the URLs clean.
