I found one project on sourceforge, <a href=\"http:\/\/photospace.sourceforge.net\/\">Photospace<\/a>, which appears to be fairly feature complete, but it&#8217;s written in Java\/Servlets.  Unfortunately, I can&#8217;t use servlets in the environment I&#8217;m targeting.  Other LAMP technologies are okay, but MS based solutions (IIS\/ASP\/ISAPI) are out.  Also, no Flash.  Javascript\/AJAX are fine.<\/p>\n<p>I also found a couple other projects on SF which aim to do something like this, but haven&#8217;t released any files, and appear to have no recent activity.
