I do. :) Usually I just export to jpg and then I have a php script which
I dump into the folder and it does all the magic, reads meta information,
tags. I also have a script which generates thumbnails because not all
hosting services appreciate the amount of RAM it can take to generate
thumbnails.

That sounds great. I wouldn't mind using my design skills to contribute.
I'll get into the IRC channel, I'll have to look up where to go I guess on
your site. My suggestion would be a bit of PHP, HTML5, CSS3 & jQuery. A
lightbox would be ideal, clean, simple, and it looks amazing. However,
thumbnails for gallery views are necessary.

I'll take a look, just trying to avoid having to recompile because of my
busy business schedule. I guess I'll take a look.
