The cool thing about Open Source projects is that they're for the people, by the people. Many, many of you have shown your support with donations, great reviews, testimonials and by providing help in the forums. We can't thank you enough for that. But there are lots of ways to help, so if you have a little time and want to step up here's a great thing that you could do to help us out.

Update: We've got 8 volunteers in 2 days. As always, you guys rock. That's more than enough folks for now, so consider this position filled. There will be more work to do though so if you want to help out, stay tuned!

We're happy to announce the general availability of Gallery v1.3.2. This release includes new features, performance increases and many small bugfixes. While this release is aimed at all Gallery users, its performance increases will be of especial value to users with large numbers (ie, thousands) of photos. Among the improvements is the release of Gallery 1.0, the companion program to Gallery. The main new Gallery Remote feature is the development of a new, more robust protocol between Gallery Remote and Gallery 1.3.2.

Steve Mallet says I've just added Gallery to http://OSDir.com (new O'Reilly site). We'll likely be building a book partly based from the votes and comments there so I invite our users to talk Gallery up a bit there. Woo, it'd be fun to be in a book!

G2 is moving right along. We've listened to your requests and are building a system that will do practically everything that you want. It'll be fast, powerful, flexible, scalable. Sound good to be true? The catch is that we can't do it without your help. Read more to find out how you can help make G2 a success.
