Re: wordpress authentication

The way G3's auth system works is that you can use a single canonical
storage for users - either the standard Gallery3 user module, or the
wordpress_auth module which will switch you to authenticating against
Wordpress's user database.  I haven't used wordpress_auth so YMMV, but I
imagine it wouldn't be that hard to link your wordpress user credentials
with Gallery using the REST API.  I haven't seen anybody do that yet,
though...
