Angie,
you're absolutely right: a proposal is a good idea to start.
I am sorry I cannot offer you any help with it, I will be heading into
my vacation in a few hours. Good luck!

Matt,
Looks like you have more of the Roller side figured out than I do. I
did find the business.plugins class this morning in the Javadocs
(which were a bit difficult to find). It looks like that code may
need to be looked into. I was also looking at the guides and I appear
to have skipped the step of writing up a proposal. I just went right
to discussion on the list. I think the proposal is a good idea
because that can be used as a road map to figure out where we are
headed as we start to work on this. I will get the proposal added to
the wiki probably on Monday or Tuesday.

without having looked into the roller code, my guess is we have to do
the following:
- in roller-customer.properties add a new property like this:
photogalleryclass = my.gallery.class
- This class has to implement a defined interface. The Roller
instantiates the class with Class.forName(
getParameter("photogalleryclass") ).
- And in the Velocity templates we offer two new macros
a) to insert photogallery-JS into the html head
b) to use the gallery

Matt,
I was planning on asking you the same question. I plan on looking
more into the code this weekend. If anyone can give me a head start
and point me to the correct jars to look at it would be helpful.

to be honest, I don't know how the other pluggable things in Roller
work. Do you?
IMO there should be two things to a photo gallery plugin. a) If
it's Javascript-based, one or more script have to be included in
the HTML head. b) The photo gallery software has to receive the
images (or image urls) to create its gallery.
What are your thoughts?

I completely agree about it being pluggable but in making it
pluggable it shouldn't matter what it is on the "other side". The
code that I currently have for the photo gallery is all Java based
and AJAX.

Angie--
that's a great idea. IMHO such a gallery functionality should be
made pluggable. Such as that multiple gallery implementations can
be used in Roller.
Right now, I am thinking about using something Javascript based
(JQuery based to be exact). Maybe we can figure out a general
interface for galleries.
What do you think?
Regards,
Matt
