The software<br \/>\n  lets you easily organize photo collections for display at a Web site. The PHP-based<br \/>\n  system allows the site owner to add comments to photos, and it provides<br \/>\n  site visitors the opportunity to view images as thumbnails and also in various<br \/>\n  sizes. I&#8217;ve initiatied <a href=\"http:\/\/english.sxu.edu\/bonadonna\/gallery\">my<br \/>\n  PHPQuickGallery<\/a> with photos of my family&#8217;s &quot;Baseball Vacation&quot;<br \/>\n  and a few archived pictures of the kids.<\/p>\n<p>Norm Boyer is the colleague collaborator\/testor so far. He had some <a href=\"http:\/\/english.sxu.edu\/boyer\/gallery\">great<br \/>\n  photos from the England Travels<\/a> course he taught this summer. Norm helped<br \/>\n  me identify a few glitches and workarounds, but most of all, he confirmed how<br \/>\n  useful the system is for very quickly posting large collections of photos. I&#8217;m<br \/>\n  wondering to what extent my colleagues in the Art Department might find PHPQuickGallery<br \/>\n  relevant to their needs for organizing the large collections of slides they<br \/>\n  use in their instruction.<\/p>\n<p>I found out about this software from the August 6, 2004 <a href=\"http:\/\/scout.cs.wisc.edu\/\">Scout<br \/>\n  Report.<\/a> The program is free software, with an unusual but charming licensing<br \/>\n  requirement. As the main license condition, developer Benjamin Meyer asks that users send him<br \/>\n  a postcard for him to display on the door to his computer room. <\/p>\n<p>Here is how the software is described at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.csh.rit.edu\/~benjamin\/programs\/program.php?program=PHPQuickGallery\">PHPQuickGallery<\/a><br \/>\n  site: <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><font color=\"#009966\">PHPQuickGallery<\/font><\/h3>\n<p><font color=\"#009966\"> PHPQuickGallery is the solution for those who want<br \/>\n    to have a simple, easy to manage web gallery. Adding new photos or galleries<br \/>\n    is as simple as creating directories and copying in the files (You could keep<br \/>\n    them there, but you do have backups of your photos right?). PHPQuickGallery<br \/>\n    doesn&#8217;t require the user to add the photos to a database, go through some<br \/>\n    web form, or have a script run to create new web pages. PHPQuickGallery will<br \/>\n    automatically detect and display anything new that is added. <\/p>\n<p>\n    <strong>PHPQuickGallery includes the following features<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><font color=\"#009966\"> First and formost PHPQuickGallery will check the<br \/>\n      comments for spelling when saving them.<\/font><\/li>\n<li><font color=\"#009966\">Ability to have galleries with images and movies.<\/font><\/li>\n<li><font color=\"#009966\">Galleries can have galleries within them.<\/font><\/li>\n<li><font color=\"#009966\">Automatic image thumbnail creation.
