Hi Angie,

�I would like to help on the proposal. But let's first talk about the 
goal:

�What I wanted to integrate was a photo gallery slideshow that display a 
bunch of images in a blog entry with some cool javascript animation, e.g. 
jQuery. I did not want to integrate flicks slideshows or something like 
that. There already is some "upload file" functionality in Roller, maybe 
that could be used.

�What do you think?

��Matt
