I'm aware of all the other image gallery programs in Debian and have checked them all out. Salonify has certain features/advantages not present in any of the other ones. Some of these include: Salonify tries really hard to render well in all browsers, including w3m (w3m-img). Accessibility and standards compliance are top design considerations. Also, it uses JavaScript to preload images and for slideshow, but it is also 100% useable with JavaScript disabled. (similarly with cookies). Anyone visiting the site can change image captions (like a wiki), and it keeps a change history in case you need to roll back. Visitors from the web can customize the layout, or the administrator can set a certain layout and restrict visitors from changing layout (or captions). Salonify is also useful if you use your server as your desktop computer (or if you don't want to maintain two separate directory structures for photos online and photos on your own system). Photos are set up in a directory hierarchy that is conveniently browsed with gqview et al., and thumbnails are hidden. Salonify doesn't generate a ton of HTML files like some of the image gallery programs, and adjusts dynamically to new image directories or new images. I wrote salonify because I was frustrated with all the existing image gallery programs I could find. Several people have found it useful and preferable to other packages out there--I think it's worth including. --Adam
