Is it just me or has it been kinda quiet around here? I've also noticed it dying down at trisweb.com... but that's no doubt my own fault. I guess I just miss the days when a new ZP release would generate dozens of comments and posts...

Any thoughts? Are there fewer users than before? Is the project not that interesting?

What can I do to spark more interest? What do you guys want to see?

(Let me guess: Subalbums... ;-)

Yeah, I think subalbums, more themes, and probably an api to develop plugins.

=P

Fire off a mail-shot to your registered readership and watch 'em come flocking

(peeps might just not be checking for updates after so long! ;o)

Ahh, marketing. Good idea! I'll look into it.

Might also be an interesting idea to "register your zenphoto installation" -- keep a database of galleries and their users, for many purposes. Fun idea.

Don't forget that those of us that still hang out here can evangelize too. (For instance the Lifehacker comment two of us made last week.) Make nice comments about Zenphoto on other people's sites, etc....

It'd be even better to actually have a article on a big profile site like Lifehacker, but they just did one on Gallery 2.

Since I'm also working on promoting my wife's website for her business, I'm doing a lot of "hunting" these days, and if I dig something up that might be a good promotional "vehicle", i'll post it here.

Yeah.. I agree.. I like the registering of the albums.. Have like a directory of zenphoto albums.
I think it was just the long layoff.. I know me personally I was starting to loose hope for a while. Subalbums were a topic of conversation since I started coming here. I think maybe a good solid subalbums release with good theme support and a pull of the software out of beta status would intrigue many users. People wanted to see active development and it appeared dead for a little while there.

We could always add a lot of Web 2.0 stuff to the gallery digg the site. Everybody seems to flock to the whole web 2.0 phenomenon there.

How about a theme viewer such as: http://themes.wordpress.net/

Hey that's pretty cool...

I imagine a redesign of the ZP home page would also be helpful. It could include something like that.
