Re: Documentation is available

	It might be an overkill to implement it in JavaScript. It would
also be pretty to hard to maintain it. Everytime we make a change to
cthumb that affects the album, we would have to change the JavaScript.
However, it wouldn't be that hard doing it as perl CGI script. I can
implement that. I am pretty sure that this summer I'll have a new batch of
pictures that will motivate me to do it :)
