title: What web application framework should I use for a web gallery?
body: <p>I need to create a photo gallery for a website running IIS 4.0 or IIS 5.0 (im not sure which). It needs to display a low resolution version of the gallery to anyone, and it must show both the low and high resolution images for "priviledged" users. So I need access priviledges, photo albums and once the site is complete, the person I am doing this for needs to be able to upload their own images to the gallery. It also needs to have a minimal interface as it needs to be integrated into an existing website.</p>
  
  <p>So I need some advice on this with the direction I should approach it.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know if their is a customisable gallery out there that can do something like this, such as Coppermine or Jgallery or something. The alternative is to use a web framework like Ruby on Rails, CodeIgniter or Sproutcore (each which require learning a new language). The framework would be more work, but the existing galleries may not be customisable enough. The important bit is the user privileges in an admin panel.</p>
  
  <p>I am relatively new to "web programming", although not new to normal/games programming. I have a few years experience with C/C++ OpenGL and Java. I have also read up on MVC etc, and did hello world with <a href="http://www.sproutcore.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">sproutcore</a>, so I kinda get the idea. Although learning a framework is a much heavier investment. </p>
  
  <p>What are your thoughts?</p>
