Bill --

This is a good topic for the -devel mailing list so I'm cc'ing
them.  I appreciate the offer.  We'd like to get Gallery working 
on a database backend in a big way, and are shooting for an overall 
redesign in G2 that will provide us with the right architecture 
to move forward (instead of grafting something totally insane 
onto what we already have).

Perhaps the most useful thing you could do for now would be to 
review and critique the G2 dev documents (you can find them
on the gallery home page).  The more eyes reviewing the proposed
architecture the better.  Once we're sure it's going to work
we can move forward with implementing it.
