This means the user specifies the desired photos he wants to add to his album. About your idea: to have an album with all the images uploaded by user: this is already accessible if you go to Main/AllDocs?view=attachments and filter the user. > - create albums and add information like title, caption, description > and > location. *doubt* - will there be any limit on maximum number of > photographs in an album? > > we don't have any limit on the number of attachments we add to a page, so we shouldn't have a limit here either. > - browse through the uploaded photographs (available in browsers not > having javascript - It can be done using css3). > we recently have something like http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Gallery+Macro and http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Attachment+Selector+Ma… to give you some example of extensions that handle attachment viewers. > - view as thumbnails and slideshow (with adjustable timer and with > manual browsing). > > > - migration tool from the old version photo albums. *doubt* - what > does > old version photo albums refer to? > This is the very old Photo album application that we want to replace. http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Photo+Album+Application > - ability to tag and associate comments with attachments. *doubt* - > does > attachments here refers to image files only or any type of files. > for the purpose of this project refers to images, but this should be extensible so we could comment on any type of files. > I have browsed through the code of older photo album application.

You can find lots of applications at http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ You can play with them, see also the source code, etc. The specifications for this project are very oriented towards the HTML5 standard so you should check that out too.
