Hi! There is a MySQL backend for Digikam. It would be neat if Shotwell could be configured to access and use the same backend to not only provide distributed database management but also seamless interoperability with Digikam for any overlapping functionality, such as tagging. The missing piece in the puzzle is then a server side image gallery that hooks into the same database and can serve images to the web.
