you know of any gallery type plugins for mediawiki?
I forgot to talk to you about this - but the gallery2wiki plugin for
media wiki looks pretty sweet. It does dynamic galleries based on the
tags you add to photos. It seems pretty sweet:

I have used gallery before and it's not bad so I think this might be
worth a try?
That means also getting a full working Gallery2 instance which we
can/would use for other purposes (like wallpaper sharing / GRUB themes
sharing and such)?
Can't we host the images in Gallery2 and just hotlink them in Mediawiki
when needed?
How about SVG support in Gallery2? A short research tells me its create
thumbnails for SVG with imagemagick, so potentially sub-optimal. On the
other hand, in my experience with Wikipedia, the built-in SVG support in
Mediawiki (including thumbnailing) is quite good.
How does your workflow work for the arts section of the wiki? Does it
work for you guys? Do you like it?
It's okay for writing up specification style documents eg having inline
mockups in a spec or having a list of graphics for one specific purpose
(e.g. the release artwork mockups). But sometimes it would be nice to
have a galley of all the artwork of a specific style, e.g., to be able
to tag all artwork that is a banner and be able to have a dynamic
gallery of all banners would be awesome! Or to have one gallery of all
the mockups and iterations of one particular piece we're working on
would also be helpful.
Can't we use for such grouping something like categories in Wikimedia
Commons? Something like http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/GNOME - i
believe you include the right category markup in the page and it is
dynamically included in the category gallery.
I think such category pages may solve the problem without the need fir
integration with an external gallery (integration made with an "alpha"
plug-in).
