Difference: WebAlbumSoftware (1 vs. 41)

	Over the past few years I've taken some snapshots of the family. My Dad's a very competent photgrapher; he's grabbed some amazing candids of people for many years. Me, I just point'n'shoot. I thought it would be fun to put some of these photos online, although they're probably boring for everyone but the people in them. Being a software enthusiast I thought that I'd look around for an open source photo album package. I didn't have to look far, although I did end up looking pretty widely at the category. Which leads to: <rant>
Changed:
< <	This category of software is a pretty good example of "just because you can - doesn't mean you should." In other words, there are far too many of these programs (current count: 43) and almost all of them are more-or-less the same. The problem is that there are so many that it becomes difficult to pick a good one without wasting time wading through 3 or 4 (or 15 or 20) that are a complete waste of everybody's time.

Added:

	album - version 2.11 as of 2001-06-26 http://marginalhacks.com/Hacks/album/ Static perl, has themes. I've tried this one and it works well. It doesn't depend on funky software, the themes are easy to hack and it doesn't require strange data files for it to run (just point it at a directory full of jpg files).
Line: 219 to 223
	Put-up or shut-up time
Changed:
< <	OK, so what did I end up doing? After bouncing around and trying a bunch of packages, I found that album seems to work well. I didn't want to have to maintain a separate software system just to show photos, though, so in the end I worked out a fairly simple hack to TWiki (the system that serves these pages) to allow it to handle photo albums reasonably well. I like to think that this underscores my original point, which is that for most common tasks there's already a program to automate it, and it's better to enhance someone else's software than create an entirely new program, even if you think it would be better than the other guy's.

+A note about security: these packages tend to fall into two categories: those that generate a bunch of static pages and those that generate pages on the fly.  Clearly the latter has more functional potential, as it can provide picture upload, dynamic comments, etc.  What shouldn't be overlooked, however, are the security implications of the dynamic approach.  If you generate a bunch of static pages and put them in a viewable path then you haven't added any additional security risk to your server beyond your web server software.  Every CGI, however, is a new program which gets run each time someone looks at a page.  I don't know about you, but I feel fairly confident that most of the obvious (and non-obvious) security holes in Apache have been found and fixed.  OTOH, I really can't say the same thing about "Ed's picture album CGI program."

 In summary, why expose yourself to more risk than you need to?  Use the static approach.

Think I'm kidding? On 2001-08-13 one of these packages (name withheld because I don't want to single anyone out) posted a new version with the comment A major security bug which allows visitors to view just about anything the script has access to on your system has been fixed.  Now, how many such bugs remain, and how many of these packages have similar bugs that nobody's taken the time to fix?

	Over the past few years I've taken some snapshots of the family. My Dad's a very competent photgrapher; he's grabbed some amazing candids of people for many years. Me, I just point'n'shoot. I thought it would be fun to put some of these photos online, although they're probably boring for everyone but the people in them. Being a software enthusiast I thought that I'd look around for an open source photo album package. I didn't have to look far, although I did end up looking pretty widely at the category. Which leads to:

<rant>
 This category of software is a pretty good example of "just because you can - doesn't mean you should."  In other words, there are far too many of these programs and almost all of them suck.  The problem is that there are so many that it becomes difficult to pick a good one without wasting time wading through 3 or 4 (or 10 or 12) that are a complete waste of everybody's time.

I know I shouldn't rag on people for trying to do the right thing, but in this case I think people are actually hurting the open source community by releasing yet another half-baked project which will suck resources that might be better focussed on one or two that have a chance to become decent.

	A note about security: these packages tend to fall into two categories: those that generate a bunch of static pages and those that generate pages on the fly. Clearly the latter has more functional potential, as it can provide picture upload, dynamic comments, etc. What shouldn't be overlooked, however, are the security implications of the dynamic approach. If you generate a bunch of static pages and put them in a viewable path then you haven't added any additional security risk to your server beyond your web server software. Every CGI, however, is a new program which gets run each time someone looks at a page. I don't know about you, but I feel fairly confident that most of the obvious (and non-obvious) security holes in Apache have been found and fixed. OTOH, I really can't say the same thing about "Ed's picture album CGI program."

This category of software is a pretty good example of "just because you can - doesn't mean you should." In other words, there are far too many of these programs and almost all of them suck. The problem is that there are so many that it becomes difficult to pick a good one without wasting time wading through 3 or 4 that are a complete waste of everybody's time.

I know I shouldn't rag on people for trying to do the right thing, but in this case I think people are actually hurting the open source community by releasing yet another half-baked project which will suck resources that might be better focussed on one or two that have a chance to become decent.

So if you're thinking of releasing your cheezy web picture album perl script - DON'T! Even if it has some spiffy feature that none have, please swallow your pride and add that feature to someone else's package. We'll all be better off in the long run.

Without further ado, my experience with these packages:

pharch - version 1.3.8 as of 2001-06-13 http://www.breu.org/pharch/

cgi script, 770 lines of perl.

Strange and rigid file layout, html is munged in with the perl (hard to change style), generates bogus html.

Don't bother.

BBPic - http://www.bb-zone.com/zope/bbzone/bbpic_html/

GTK program to build a static photo archive. Not bad, actually, but the author has done the right thing and discontinued the project. Thanks BB!

cthumb - version 3.3.1 as of 2001-06-13 http://puchol.com/cpg/software/cthumb/

Gotta check this one out - it looks feature-rich.

My Photo Gallery - version 1.9 as of 2001-06-11 http://www.fuzzymonkey.org/perl/

Results look good, worth a look.
