+1 to this idea - we would love to see this implemented here at the University of Canberra and agree with Don's design/pedagogical rationale.

It's a great way to provide visual evidence, either as a sequence or as a thumbnail index. But I notice that the "Show Description" option available on single images is not available in the Gallery. To see descriptions of individual images, you have to click on each image and open it in a new window, which is not very usable. I think curating images with brief descriptions is very valuable, and showing curated images in sequence (ie slideshow) can build a compelling story. What are the difficulties/downsides of adding this capability to the Image Gallery? I can think of one potential difficulty: what to do with the other main option: thumbnails. Descriptions would look very odd attached to these. But I think a compromise could be found for this, such as clipping the description after a set amount of characters. I'm hoping it would be relatively straightforward to accomplish.
