I have seen several requests for Gallery integration with WordPress and while my implementation is not perfect it does work. It does not combine the user database for example - I just don't understand how to pull that data from WordPress' MySQL database

These two links combined provided the basis for this

Once you have generated the static page as described in the TechGnome article you copy the WordPress include from the file to the header section of the four files referenced in Gallery forum article. You will then copy only the code from from the <html> tag to the content section of the static page to wrapper.header and all the code below the content section to wrapper.footer

Additionally you copy the content of your WordPress css include file into your Gallery css include file and that should do it. Maybe someone who understands css functions better than I can eliminate the requirement for duplicating the css functions in the WordPress stylesheet.

You will of course have to make adjustments to paths in your new files to properly reference WordPress file paths.

I apologize for the incompletness of this but I am not really good at documentation

I will try to answer any questions and maybe some guru's out there could help with further integration - If this has been done already then ignore this post.
