Subject: Re: Interest in ruby photo-album indexing and thumbnailing?

Hello there,

for those who might be interested. I'm currently working on an Exif
Parser Library in pure ruby. So far I've been able to read the content
of a jpeg file and display all the informations avalaible inside. I also
plan to allow the library to modify the content of these data and save
them back to the picture.

My ultimate goal is be to write a set of scripts being able to render
a Photo Gallery just by adding my script on an apache and setting a
folder for pictures. I want as few dependency on the 'file system' as
possible (ie the script should be able to generate thumbnail when needed
and start of from nothing but pictures)...

Cheers,
