picasaweb_
----------

* It's free to use
* Web albums, synchronised with picasa software
* Share your albums
* Add geo-tags to your photos

Galleriffic_

* API for controlling the gallery with custom controls
* Support for image captions
* Flexible configuration

Components
==========

collective.gallery use zope.components to provide as much reusable as possible components.

First we have photo resources. Plone already manage this for you:

* Folder and Large Plone Folder can contains Image
* Topic can be criterized to list only Image
* Link can be sources of photos throw picasaweb.google.com and flickr.com services.

Next you have the business component: IGallery. This interface is implemented at two levels:

* As named adapter over IATLink to get photos from picasaweb or flickr.
* As browserview to control the resource (@@gallery)

The picasaweb and flickr services let you embed a flash slideshow to display your photos.
Views are already available to use those services:

* @@gallery-picasaweb-slideshow
* @@gallery-flickr-slideshow

But they are not integrated in the Plone UI.

Roadmap
=======

* [1.0] finish the css
* [1.1] exif integration
* [2.0] add photos
* [2.0] search photos
* [2.0] collective.harlequin as an extra dependency
