Don't know why my subject disappeared. I musta dun sumpin rong.

The gallery is already up and running, and two members have posted to it. 
Go right ahead, Wright!

Re giving the images a set life (get a life, images), I see advantages and 
disadvantages. I lean away from the idea though. Better to have a moderator 
who could delete inactive galleries, or asking the owner if they would like 
to delete. Some galleries will be of long term interest to members, 
especially, perhaps, new members. They might even have joined so that they 
could look through those galleries. As for disk space, these days it is 
cheap and I'd rather have the AKA pay a little extra for their hosting, if 
necessary, to accommodate this service for the members.

These two issues, and probably others I hope will come soon, will require 
some help from interested members. I plan soon to implement a page in the 
Members Only area where various AKA committees can post calls fro voluteer 
help.
