Are there plans to add CDN (content delivery network) support to Gallery? It would be nice to have images served by someone else to save on bandwidth costs while still maintaining control and keeping all other features.

Hey Dave, the link you provided seems to no longer be supported (server not found). Plus, the discussion is about 4 years old.

Thus, I assume the project is totally defunct. I'd like to get my gallery, which has over 2GB of photos, on a CDN which would include copying the files and all (if that is even possible). Is there no CDN support at all right now? I wasn't using going to use Coral - I was planning on using MaxCDN - and I'd still like to if possible. Any advice or links are appreciated.

2GB is a petty amount. Why use a CDN?

Cost, code complexity, reliability, support, upgrade-ability, maintainability. Are just some of the issue that come to mind.
Then who is going to write the module to do it?

That was really the question. Is there a module or not?
