OK, I'm happy with that. Let's go ahead.

Alan, a couple of thoughts…
First, going from a handful of digits to an image on paper is non-trivial.
Whether it is real paper or virtual paper (e.g., pdf). That is one big reason
why I did not even think twice about trying to step in for Mark - he is a
master printer, I am not. So, to get to your option of a gallery of PDF
versions of contributors images, the contributors or someone else would need to
do the “printing.” Which is a bit different from submitting a file and letting
Master Printer Mark do his magic to bring out the best image on paper the he
could achieve.
I can, on the other hand, conveniently store and make accessible the digital
form for viewing on your phone, tablet, or desktop. RAW or jpeg, full size or
bare minimum size, makes no difference. When a viewer clicks on a thumbnail,
the Zenfolio software creates a screen version in the default size.
It is a simple virtual toggle switch for me to say whether the original file
can be downloaded. My assumption was that PDML contributors to such a gallery
would prefer not to have the download option, but it really makes no difference
to me. Some, like Ann, derive some income from their images and I assume would
not want the digital file accessible.
I am open for additional comments…

Actually it's virtually the same as Stan's suggestion with an option to download &
print if desired. I know many are happy looking at images on screen but others prefer
printed stuff like books, magazines & newspapers. Perhaps there's a simple way to
put a gallery (even Stan's) into PDF format?

Sounds complicated. Stan’s proposal is much more workable. And why print books?
We’ve been there and Mark has done that. Time to move on.

Another suggestion:
Perhaps we could convince Brian to host a "Super PUG". We could all contribute
(say) 3 images from 2018 albeit at slightly higher resolutions. They could then be presented
in the usual PUG format & accessed by PDMLers in their own countries where they could
arrange to have photobooks printed or even do it themselves. The Quotations for 2018 have
already been posted. A nominal charge to cover expenses could be collected up front with the
images.
What do you think?
