Bug#806748: ITP: fgallery -- static HTML+JavaScript photo album generator



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Guus Sliepen <guus@debian.org>

* Package name    : fgallery
  Version         : 1.7+10-gd2fb0d1
  Upstream Author : Yuri D'Elia <wavexx@thregr.org>
* URL             : http://www.thregr.org/~wavexx/software/fgallery/
* License         : GPLv2+
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description     : static HTML+JavaScript photo album generator

 “fgallery” is a static photo gallery generator with no frills that has a
 stylish, minimalist look. “fgallery” shows your photos, and nothing else.
 .
 There is no server-side processing, only static generation. The resulting
 gallery can be uploaded anywhere without additional requirements and works with
 any modern browser.
 .
 * Automatically orients pictures without quality loss.
 * Multi-camera friendly: automatically sorts pictures by time: just throw your
   (and your friends) photos and movies in a directory. The resulting gallery
   shows the pictures in seamless shooting order.
 * Adapts to the current screen size and proportions, switching from
   horizontal/vertical layout and scaling thumbnails automatically.
 * Includes original (raw) pictures in a zip file for downloading.
 * Panoramas can be seen full-size by default.

I'm packaging this because although the output is static, the resulting
galleries are quite dynamic, and different from other web album software
like album, bins, llgal, et cetera. The output is also quite pleasing
visually, without requiring any configuration of HTML and/or CSS
templates, and also allows keyboard navigation of a gallery.

Optionally, fgallery can make use of face detection software
(facedetect, which I might package separately later), to ensure images
with faces in them have their thumbnails centered on those faces.
