My Personal Gallery 2 Wishlist
Before you read this, please note that these are my own personal thoughts and wishes, not an offical post from the Gallery team. There are a couple of things I, personally, would love to see happen with Gallery 2:- Akismet Plugin
We all know spam sucks, and Akismet does a great job moderating comments for lots of different web applications. Gallery 2 could really benefit from the same service. - Flock Support
Flock natively supports several online solutions, how cool would it be if you could also post your photos to your Gallery 2 installation directly? This seems like a feature more people than me are looking for, and I'm sure some Flockstar out there has the capability of making it happen? After all, both Gallery 2 and Flock has pretty open APIs. Of course, a FireFox plugin would be great too, but that falls into the same category doesn't it? - Scheduled publication
I would love to see a Gallery 2 module that lets you scheduled publication of items, as well as scheduled removal. Most useful in photoblog situations I think, but it's a feature I would like to be able to use on my photoblog. I love automated things. - Improved RSS module
Gallery 2 has a pretty good RSS module, but it could use an overhaul to make it a bit simpler to use. As far as I'm concerned the current module has to many options, and is to difficult to set up. After all, most users only need a site feed, an album feed, and a comment feed. Right?

Agreed. Particularly the Akismet part. CAPTCHA’s? Come on. This isn’t 1996. :o)

I do have one problem with Akismet though, and thats the centralized information gathering it does. Not only does it make your own site rely on a third-party service that might disappear at some point, it also gathers a lot of information on valid comments as well as spam.
But, for a lack of a better alternative, Akismet would be a good choice.

Hey h0bbel,
Gallery is being considered for Flock integration…I will add your vote to the list. Hopefully we’ll see it in 1.0.
Keep on Flockin’,

I personally like Akismet, even though it does feel a bit like Big Brother watching.

Amen on improving the RSS. Does Gallery2 even currently have a site feed?

Gallery 2 has a site wide feed, yes.
