I’m not finding any Ruby (on Rails or otherwise) open source programs of  
any sophistication for photo galleries. There is a PHP program Gallery  
([http://gallery.menalto.com](http://gallery.menalto.com)). Am I missing something? Why aren’t there  
programs as developed as Gallery or Wordpress? Is it just time or is  
there something different about the communities? I’m not trolling or  
criticizing, just wondering what’s the difference or what I’m missing.
