PhotArk

Apache PhotArk will be a complete open source photo gallery application including a content repository for the images, a display piece, an access control layer, and upload capabilities. The idea is to have a rigid design for the content repository with a very flexible display piece. The images in the content repository will be protected with granular access control.

Currently PhotArk application is designed as a Web 2.0 application that can be run standalone, or deployed to a Java EE Application Server such as Apache Tomcat. The PhotArk components are defined using the SCA programming model and Apache Tuscany is used as the SCA Runtime. There is also integration with Apache JackRabbit for the Content Repository..

PhotArk gallery currently allows you define a set of albums hosted locally, and also allows you to aggregate external albums exposed as feeds (e.g from Flickr).

We are currently seeking help to enhance the development of the application and add new functionality to bring PhotArk to a first class photo gallery application
