ABOUT:
Gallery 3 is a web based software product that lets you manage your
photos on your own website.  You must have your own website with PHP
and database support in order to install and use it.  With Gallery you
can easily create and share albums of photos via an intuitive
interface.


SECURITY (& INTENDED AUDIENCE):
This is the first beta release of Gallery 3.0 and while it's not a
finished product, it's heading into the home stretch.  You can install
it on public websites, but remember that until the final release is
out, we make no guarantees that it won't do bad things.

Note:
 - We've contracted a professional security audit, received their results
   and resolved all the really dire issues they found.  There are still some
   issues, but they are more along the lines of "you should ask for the old
   password as a confirmation when you let users change their password".
   Ie, they're issues but they're not really bad.  We'll take care of them
   before the final release.
 - Most of the key features are in, but some of them (notably the "add from
   server" and "organize album" features) are probably going to be completely
   rewritten.
 - Starting with beta 1 we're going to offer an upgrade path so you won't
   have to reinstall and start all over (yay!)

The intended audience of this release is folks who are willing to live
a little bit on the edge. We'll do our best to take care of your data
and your security, but we might screw it up here or there.  We welcome
theme and module developers to play with this release and start
turning out slick new designs for our happy users.
