Online Photo gallery software: Is there a need for one more?

[ndee]

I wanna program a little in PHP and thought if it would be worth it to make a Image gallery application in php. I just bought a Powershot G3 so that would be kinda nifty.

What do you all think?

Thanks for the input.

Unless you can write something better than Gallery (or the impending Gallery 2), I wouldn't bother. There isn't the need, persay, for a new one, though it might be a fun challenge anyway.

Great program, 2.0 will be even better (probably will be out in beta this May or so...).

How does Rob's compare to Adul's, bzzzddd and notfred's?

What are the main pro's and con's of each?

I'd say they are all great for different purposes. A lot of people use mine as a gallery rather than just image hosting...the organization is great in Gallery. For example, see how I have about 400+ pictures, but in several galleries to organize them?

Of course, I don't have the bragging rights that I coded my own software. I hacked the CSS and added in some software options (auto registration, etc.), but I didn't actually code it myself. Also, IIRC, notfred's service allows for more file types - like mp3s and the like. Mine is limited to image types (gif/png/jpg/etc.) and movies (avi).
