I read on the front page of the module that you are planning on releasing the module for Drupal 6 soon. Do you have any idea how soon? |

I have finished to port most of the gallery module code to Drupal 6 already. Major parts are available from cvs (branch 6--1). However there are two reasons why there is still no development snapshot for D6:
1. The new module doesnt work with G2.2, but requires the new G2.3svn, which is to be released in the next weeks.
2. Depending on G2.3 progress the block handling code is still under development and the upgrade path from 5--2 to 6--1 is incomplete.
I decided to code the D6 version directly for the upcoming G2.3 release to save some time and work, so that I can focus on new features for gallery module instead. This includes the work on the "Gallery OG" and "Gallery Content" modules.
There will be no D6 gallery module before G2.3 is released.
New features for D6 version (in short):
- Basepath configurable (no hardcoded site.net/gallery)
- Switch/select G2 theme for embedded gallery
- Support for Multiroot (will be used for individual galleries with OrganicGroups, "Gallery OG" module)
- Utilization of drupal_alter() allowing modules to hook into gallery module
- Unified and extended block handling (support for arbitrary blocks, not just Image/Grid blocks)
