I wanted to check if Gallery would be a good tool to create a community supported Stock Image Gallery Site. The Idea is anyone (once approved by Admins) can submit their pictures to be added to the site after logging in using their Facebook/Google/Other Social Site/OpenId. The objective of the site is to allow sharing of pictures under Creative Commons Licence for use by everyone for non-commercial use. If a user would like to licence the image for use for commercial purpose there should be a option for payment system (Paypal etc) Let me know if features are possible. I am open to using Gallery supported hosts for hosting this site. Look forward to your feedback. Thanks, |

Possible? Sure, but you'll probably have to get your hands dirty coding.
For example, this site is powered by Gallery 2:

A heavily modified version of G2, but at the core, it's Gallery.
There is a "checkout" module for G2:

Looks like someone started on an openid login module.

Thanks for the feedback. By coding you mean installing and tweaking plugins or is there additional coding that needs to be done on top of that?

No, by coding, I mean writing code needed to accomplish what ever those modules don't do for you.
