Hi devs,

we are working with XWiki for about three years now (I think we  
started using it around version 0.8). In this time we developed  
several plugins, which we always planed to make open source to give  
something back to the community. However, until now we never found the  
time to do it. Now we saw in your GSoC proposals the project for a new  
photo album application. We thought this would be a good moment to  
contribute our photo plugin (or parts of it).
Short list of features:
- unzip an attached file and attach the contained files to a document  
(i.e. the photo album)
- resize images to a maximum width and height maintaining the aspect  
ratio (if you like already while unzipping) - only jpg until now. When  
we wrote it, the XWiki image plugin stretched the images when width  
and height were defined.
- read meta data from images (using  http://www.drewnoakes.com/code/exif/ 
  - sadly it seems the library is not updated anymore)

The plugin would be the Java part only and not directly affect the  
GSoC project, since it seems to focus mostly on a new front end, but  
we think the plugin could add some features to it. (Maybe I could  
create a small example page if you are interested)

I hope to hear from you wether you are interested and if so, what  
parts you are interested in.
Also don't hesitate to ask if you have questions or need further  
information.

Edo
