p>Max Kiesler’s Blog: AJAX Image Gallery Example - Alpha Release:

From Max Kiesler today, there’s a new blog post that gives details on an Ajax image gallery script that he’s releasing - with two examples, one using MySQL/PHP and the other just looking at the directory structure.

Both of these are extreme alpha developer releases. These two examples are really mash-ups of existing code to show what is possible. There are many things to fix and finish on both scripts. Many of the xmlHTTPRequests have not been implemented yet but we hope to have time to do it in the next few weeks. We’re releasing this now so others can hopefully aid in the development.

And, to further the “mash-up” process, he also lists some additions that he’d like to see integrated in the future - including aPOP and footoo. Also included in the general feature “wish list” are things like tagging, mapping, an uploader, bulk editing, and pagination…
