I'm curious why Gallery has not yet been listed with VersionTracker.com. VT is THE place all Mac users go for updates/shareware, though there is also a huge selection for Windows uses as well. Granted, most people looking for PHP stuff will go to to stalwarts such as HotScripts, SourceForge, FreshMeat, etc., but with OS X being nix based now, there are many PHP scripts starting to show up over there. I've seen comments and discussions from people mentioning Gallery, and other users asking "Where is it?"

Please consider listing it. http://www.versiontracker.com I'm sure it would boost your exposure to both Mac and Win users dramatically. You'll also get tons of feedback.

Cheers... and looking forward to v2.0!

Good thinking. I had never heard of Version Tracker before, but I've signed up for a developer account and will publish Gallery there ASAP. Thanks for the tip!

No, no...thank YOU bharat, and any other contributors to the project, for such an outstanding package! I really appreciate what you have done. I've been thrilled with Gallery now for about a year. And I'm really looking forward to v2.0.

RE: VersionTracker

I'm glad you're going to sign up! I've been using version tracker for years now, it's simply the best sight for updates/downloads I've found. While it has primarily been a place for "double clickable" commercial and shareware packages, PHP sripts are starting to show up (yea!) and it has a HUGE following (at least in the Mac community). You're going to get tremendous exposure there from Mac/*nix users alike since it's a more "mainstream" site than say HotScripts. And with OS X, there's now many more people who can (and do) activate PHP on their Macs since Apache is built in (simple matter of un-commenting 2 lines in httpd.conf, and then turning on web sharing). I'd been using Macs since '84 and never knew (until OS X) what I had been missing from things like PHP, Perl, Apache, WebDAV, SSH, etc. Nice it's all built in and waiting to be tapped. OK, 'nuff about preaching on X! :wink:

So...thanks again...and be prepared to get downloaded big time! :smile:
