Gx Thoughts

Smarty

That is the only template engine I know can only offer these opinions:

  • Keep as long as many examples of it use are added to the documentation.
  • It seems to be powerful and offers some cool modifiers, some good documentation and users will not have to learn another.

OS

  • Unix/linux for sure.
  • would like to offer windows support as well, but can't say much good about it other than we will loose some home users and percentage of hosted users. How much I don't know but suspect it is more than 10%.

DB

  • No major opinion except drop some of the obscure DBs:
    • PostgreSQL
    • DB2
    • Oracle

Image Processing Library

  • Ensure that on install the GD is a lower priority if another toolkit is found.

Features that can't be removed

  • hidden item(s)
  • permissions - per album level is fine for me.
  • notifications
  • comments
  • url rewrite - guest views only, don't worry about pretty urls on the admin/config pages.
  • image block
  • albumselect
  • registration
  • slide show - one is fine I could care less about fallbacks
  • dynamic album
  • tags
  • embedded movies ( Flash movie support )
  • Rearrange - This is a very handy AJAXy thing and use it in most albums after upload. Perhaps this could be incorporated into the upload module.
  • Localization - I don't use it but can see how it is very important.


Features I would like to see

  • A really nice AJAXy upload

Features that I could care less about

  • ecard
  • watermarking ( that is what permissions and resizes are for)
  • zip upload
  • zip download
  • cart
  • Print services
  • Ratings / voting
  • Nokia upload
  • transcode of movies
  • more than one resize
  • Web Dav
