Gallery 2's multisite install feature is great, but there is much that can be done to improve it to make life easier for both site admins and multisite users.

I encourage people who are interested in multisite to cast your vote! hopefully some of these will make it into Gallery at some point.

"Upgrade all multisites at once" -- Jean-Marc Liotier's feature request. Currently, each time Gallery is upgraded, the site admin has to go through the upgrade wizard for each multisite installation. Alternatively, each multisite owner can do it, but their galleries is broken between the time the site admin upgrades gallery and when they can get to it. So typically, the site admin goes through the arduous process of doing all of them.

"Allow themes in multisite folders" -- My feature request. This allows multisite owners to customize the look and feel of their own gallery. Change the logo, arrange the layout, etc. Since themes currently only live in the centralized install, the site admin has to intervene for each change, and all those changes become available to all members instead of the owner who wants them.

There are two other multisite features accepting votes -- unique admin for all multisites, and multisites and templates. However, I feel the above two mentioned fulfills the needs of these other two in a better way.

So multisite users, cast those votes! http://gallery.menalto.com/sfvote/all
