Photologue 3.X wishlist
Although current focus is on fixing bugs in Photologue, at some point we will look to the future and start evolving and improving Photologue. Here is a personal wishlist; please feel free to discuss it on the mailing list and make new suggestions!
New installs of Photologue need some basic data setting up (for eg. Photosizes). At present the user has to run a management command and answer a series of questions. Is there a better way of doing this? A South migration?
Photologue manages thumbnails internally. At the same time, there are many 3rd party packages for creating thumbnails of images - maybe we are re-inventing the wheel, and should rip out all of this code from Photologue and instead rely on another package.
"Photologue is a huge app, and i believe if it more easy to mantain if we separate these responsibilities os management and processing. Look I'm not saying to drop this funcionality, I believe we can use them simply by calling the methods that already exist on photologue
There are a lot of packages created especifically to process images: https://github.com/SmileyChris/easy-thumbnails https://github.com/jdriscoll/django-imagekit https://github.com/globocom/thumbor"

If the user wants to upload many photos, they have to zip them up and upload the zip. The interface for this is clunky - we could use a JS image uploader to make the experience far more enjoyable.
A common way of displaying photos from a gallery - is it something to have as an option in Photologue?
Maybe the templates can be improved - for example, some of the css class names are not brilliant (what's the difference between gallery-photo and photo-gallery?).
Add option to sort the photos in a gallery (for example by using django-admin-sortable).
