+This package includes two separate applications. In the www dir, there is the
+PHP frontend app, the convert dir includes a simple (too simple i guess) script
+that converts your wildcard of images into three subdirs in the current
+directory. You can easily create and upload all images using:
+
+ mkdir temp
+ cd $_
+ /path/to/imgconv *.png *.gif *.{jpeg,jpg}
+ scp -rp ./web-gallery me@my_server:public_html/galleries/gallery_name
+
+and that's it.
+
+Tuomas Kuosmannen (tigert@tigert.com) has created a Nautilus script to create
+"original" galleries (check the REQUIREMENTS file). Just copy the
+convert/contrib/webgallery.pl file to ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts and make sure it's got
+the execute bit set.
+
+# UPDATE
+
+ Apart from using netpbm package (http://sourceforge.net/projects/netpbm/) for
+ scaling images, the new webgallery-zenity.pl script uses Larry Ewing's
+ gdk-pixbuf-based scaler. See REQUIREMENTS for details.
+
+ Latest versions of the tools can be found at
+ http://jimmac.musichall.cz/original.php3
+
+Various Notes
+=============
+
+Gallery Dates
+-------------
+By default, original uses the directory timestamp to figure out the date of the
+gallery. If I need to tweak it, i use `touch -d`. However some folks requested
+a more convenient (is it?) way, using a "$gallery/date.txt" file. This
+functionality has been replaced by the mew meta info file - info.txt:
+
+ Info.txt format
+ ---------------
+
+ The file is a simple text of "key|value" pairs on separate lines. The '|'
+ separator is used, since you may want to use '=' and ':' as you're free to
+ use html markup in the file. Make sure you use a utf8 capable editor.
+
+ Some useful keys:
+ -----------------
+
+ date - can be used to override the timestamp of the directory
+ name - you can override the dir name if you prefer not using utf8 filenames
+ description - _short_ dexcription. Will be show in the index page.
+ author - Useful if the photographer isn't you.
