[postgis-users] Photo Management on PostGIS ?

[Kevin Neufeld]

Most thoughts I've seen on the subject are to leave the images on the filesystem, but track metadata, etc in a database.

What about something like PHP Gallery 2 - it can use PostgreSQL?

I've played with the Gallery 1 version a while back ... seemed to work well.
