It all depends what you are trying to accomplish, Filburt.

Uf you can integrate a gallery into the userprofile...that would be great.

Features from the end-user perspective:
GD/Imagemagick Resizing
Have a User Gallery that displays all galleries of users ala Photopost
Watermark and Hotlinking Protection
Integration with User Profile
User Comments and Ratings
..Maybe a Hot or Not type rating/randomization system?
Integration with Reputation system
State Tracking/ Featured Gallerys

Features from Administrative perspective
Set User limits on size, file size and number of photos per gallery
Moderator setup for galleries
Editing of photos, comments and users
User banning by usergroup to add/delete/moderate pictures

Let me know if you do go into developing this, Filburt. I'd like to offer my services as a creative consultant/project manager/UI developer if you are interested in building a team.
