Nice to see you're making good use out of it.

Also, I must mention that pictures should probably find themselves
released under the GFDL license the rest of the site is in, otherwise
we'll need to tag pictures with an alternate license.

The only thing I see lacking with the gallery tag is that it's only
three pictures wide.  I hope to see it expanded in a future mediawiki
release.

If you wanted to get fancy with image tags in the future, we can talk.
 There are lots of options.

On the note of galleries, does anyone know why PNGs don't thumbnail well?
