Hi: I wrote salonify[1], an image gallery system that emphasizes accessibility, standards compliance, and democratic captioning of images. I'm interested in distributing it as a Debian package and hopefully someday having it included in the Debian distribution. I realize there are a number of similar packages already in Debian[2], but I believe salonify has unique features that would make it useful to a number of people. I am looking for a sponsor, or, at the very least, someone who might be willing to take a look at my package and give me some feedback. It is a fairly simple package, I think. I based my packaging on jdresolve, since it was also a two-file perl script package. This is my first attempt at creating a Debian package. salonify puts some files in /var/www; I am wondering if I have done this right (technically and policy-wise). Any other comments would be quite welcome!

The Web user can choose to see photos as thumbnails or in small, medium, or full-size format; rotate the images; modify the captions; move from folder to folder or image to image easily; and customize the layout. The administrator can also take away any of these abilities from the user if they want. By default, the captioning is totally democratic (or wiki-like)--anyone visiting your site can change the captions. You can also lock this down. Salonify generates nearly w3c-compliant HTML (getting closer all the time) and renders quite well in all tested browsers, including w3m-img, lynx, Mozilla, Opera, Netscape, Internet Explorer, etc.. It uses JavaScript when available but does not depend on it, and makes special allowances for bugs in certain browsers. [2] e.g., bins - Generate static HTML photo albums using XML and EXIF tags. gallery - a web-based photo album written in php galrey - Command line image gallery generator. It also makes thumbnails. igal - online image gallery generator webmagick - create gallery thumbnails for website
