Hey,

Ive been scouring trough the web for days now looking for a guestbook module for gallery2,
but as far as i can see, there isnt one. Ofcourse alot of you may say that you can just install
some other guestbook software and put a link on the mainpage of gallery2. But that isnt very beutiful,
i really want an embedded guestbook in my gallery2 , so it looks like its a part of the gallery software
and not just some random guestbook software from outerspace.

So.. i kinda request that some developer somewhere makes a guestbook plugin, this would be very very sweet
and im sure it cant take more than maybe an hour or so to make, im not a developer myself, so i cant do this.
Maybe there is some kind soul out there who can sort this out ;)

Kind regards, Jonas

Im sure it would take a developer more than 1 hour just to pencil the outline of what needed to be done and consider

... permissions
... theme integration
... moderation
... database usage
... anti spam

The list goes on

One could always integrate gallery into a CMS system, and then use the guestbook from that app?

To make an app like this could easily take many weeks of developers time, and then many further weeks of testing

Sure it can take weeks if you gonna develop a very serious guestbook, though a guestbook that works pretty much as the commentary system, just that it has its own guestbook"page" im sure would be done in a handflip. ;P
Still it just find it wierd that no one has ever done one, as there are numerous requests of ppl wanting one ;) So should be a popular module if ever created.

Please consider opening up a bounty:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Bounties#Giving_Money I'm not sure if there is a RFE open for a guestbook module but if there is not you can open one.

Help us find a developer that will do this handflip and we would implement other useful features as well.
