I like the idea, though I probably won't participate, and you
will have to talk a different PUG maintainer into it. I will be
handing this job off sometime later this year.
When I put the idea forward for a commemorative gallery, Doug
mentioned the possibility of something like this happening,
where all of a sudden, every camera gets it's own commemorative
gallery.
He strongly disagreed with the idea, as it is not in keeping
with the PUG mandate. This is why the PUG will not be hosting
the LX gallery. I am using the PUG as a vehicle for advertising
it, but it will be going up on a different server, for a couple
of reasons.
I suspect that any gallery of this sort that we put on as
members of the PDML should be hosted elsewhere.
The PUG and the PDML are cousins, but they don't live in the
same house.
