Future updates – watching, waiting – and thinking about change October 14, 2009

Gallery is undergoing a major revision.

Gallery v3 is in beta right now – I expect it will be RC then released by the end of the year.

Couple of things to look at here on the migration from Gallery 2:

  • big one – there is no plugin for WordPress right now – and the WPG2 plugin is no longer maintained with no plans for upgrade.

    • The other set of updates is around WordPress itself.

    Three interesting updates – first WordPress 2.9 is going to go beta soon; release in maybe December. That’s going to need some poking and investigating. I’ve already found a couple of changes in alpha that break some plugins.

    The other WordPress change that I’m going to look at is the merge of WordPress MU into WordPress core; also the new features of BuddyPress on top of WordPress (MU or core).

    The BuddyPress/WPMU will let me offer multiple blogs to Rachael’s cubs and other leaders.

    I have to agree that the lack of integration with WordPress is a downer for Gallery 3 (beta). I really like Gallery 3, it runs much faster that G2. I had proposed in the WordPress Ideas forum to better integrate with Gallery rather than building all these media features into WordPress, but I doubt that forum is well read. WPG2 had a bit too much bloat for my usage, but I think a small and simple plugin would do the trick. I’m just waiting to see some more discussion of the Gallery 3 api (which is completely lacking right now).

    Martin, I might add that something is mucked up in your WordPress template. If you look at the commenters’ name in the comments below a post, the link to their website is improperly formatted (the src ends with a single quotation mark, not a double quotation). The rel immediately after that begins with a single quotation, and not a double quotation mark. This issue is (I believe) causing weird formatting in your recent comments block on the left. If you need help fixing it, hit me up on the contact form on my site.
