at what point does answering requests turn simple Plogger into bloated Plogger?


I like the script a lot, and can how it can/will be extended. But how far can/should Plogger go?]]>

May be beside the option, it can be mentioned that this feature is optional.
This way it can be both quick and simple galley besides having some cool features towards world domination. I dont think its a bad idea to have optional features to make plogger an advanced gallery besides being very very simple.
What do you guys think?]]>

The whole driving force behind Plogger was to create something that would unobstrusively integrate into any website. Plogger has an unassuming and simple design that makes it look at home in almost any setting. In this sense, Plogger is more of a component than a stand-alone gallery, and really the whole spirit of the thing is that you take it and make it your own.

I think that in the future we may be adding a few more features, while at the same time keeping the user experience intuitive and usable.

I think ultimately your software is successfull if people enjoy using it. If you keep the design simple, intuitive, and powerful, people most definitely will. Does that answer your question?]]>

This is the reason I chose Plogger as the gallery for my site. Great script!]]>

I want plogger to have more features, but to never get to a Coppermine feature/complexity swamp.]]>

They had made an engine that was strong, reliable and versatile. Then they build a lot of motorcycles based on that same engine for twenty years and more. All very different. Some very basic, some rather modified with all kinds of extras, but all based on the same frame and engine.

The question of course is, what belongs to the basics and what is an extra? To me the basic Plogger should run stable (bulletproof) on most servers and the interface should be simple and intuitive. A few more things should be added to make it a bit more attractive (some of them are already talked about in this forum and through the 'tickets' on the Trac pages), and that's it.

But you never know what will happen with it in the end. Like, for instance, I'm riding a Yamaha bike at this moment ;).]]>
