Gallery is a free open-source application allowing users to manage and publish digital photographs and other media through a PHP-enabled web server. Development of the application has recently focused on four points of philosophy: keep it small, make it intuitive, make it fast, and make it your own.[3]
Product history
In May of 2000, Bharat Mediratta — the brainchild of Gallery — returned home with his wife from a trip to India, anxious to share images of the trip with family. At first he wrote a Perl script to display them, but as the need for more features quickly emerged, he started a homegrown project to develop the idea further in PHP.[4] On June 18, 2000, Mediratta and fellow programmer and photography enthusiast Chris Smith created the Gallery project on SourceForge.[4][5]
After several betas, version 1.0 was released on April 6, 2001.[1] By October 2003, the developers were "aware of over 200,000 unique URLs that have probably had Gallery installed at one point or another."[4] That same month Gallery won Project of the Month on SourceForge, further cementing the program's popularity.[6] As the popularity of Gallery increased and the project became more complex, the team began outgrowing the functionality of SourceForge, eventually setting up a new forum on their own website.[7]
Gallery 2.0 was released in September 2005 as a much more modular application with an expanded privilege system, greater image support, and new webcam support.[8][9][10] In January 2007, PC Magazine listed Gallery 2 in its list of The Best Free Software of 2007.[11]
Gallery 3.0 was released on October 5, 2010, featuring a more compact design and improved performance, though without some of the features of version two.[12][13][3]
On June 20, 2014, Bharat Mediratta announced that "[t]he Gallery team has decided to take a step back from actively maintaining this project."[14] At that time, Mediaratta also stated he would consider transferring the project to someone else under the right circumstances.[14]
In November 2019, Bharat Mediratta posted on the Gallery website the following: "Brad Dutton has been leading a community that is continuing Gallery development. He and his team have made progress over the past year and have a stable version of Gallery 3 that is PHP 7+ compatible, contains a replacement for the old Flash-based image uploader, an updated jQuery Library and other features. They've been testing it for a year now with no problems and have released it as Gallery 3.1.0."[15] He adds that it can be downloaded at galleryrevival.com, with support offered on their forums.
