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?
So, if anyone has the know-how, dedication and free time available (very likely, I know), I would be eternally grateful if someone decided to tackle one or more of these challenged.
Now, I said it.
