Re: Sanselan

Luciano,

I agree that the projects shouldn't be combined.    To clarify my 
statement: I think the trickiest part to the new photo gallery is 
going to be growing the community.

I did ask a few questions on the dev list.  Charles asked if there 
was anything that we were going to need in particular for our 
project.  I can't specify anything at the moment.  But, we can easily 
contribute any code that would help them that we have.

As for my question regarding the JPEG and JPEG EXIF file types, he 
said that the code cannot create a new JPEG at the moment but that it 
can read and write to an existing JPEG.
