Hi,

in a future release i would love to see an RSS feed and some kind of tagging/search system similar to what we have here on this board or delicious or flickr, which would organise images by tag as well as by album

An RSS feed would be top of my list.

Yep, exactly. Both are planned.

Is there any sort of plugin architecture (or will there be by 1.0)? I think it'd be pretty simple to add RSS feeds and just want to know if there's an architecture to follow or if I should just hack away?

On a related note: Tristan, do you plan on maintaining ZenPhoto exclusively for the forseeable future or enable other devs to contribute anytime soon?

Either decision is completely understandable and you've done a FABULOUS job with ZP thus far.

I want to oversee all development, but I am planning on bringing in some help. E-mail me if you're interested.

There won't be a plugin architecture by 1.0, and you may modify the program all you want, but I'd prefer if you didn't "hack" at it ;-) Make it nice and clean now.

RSS Feeds will just be another theme file (but separate from the actual themes). Take a look at the way the theme pages are done, and especially the way they're setup in index.php in the root zp dir. Specifically, just include zen/template-functions.php and call it rss.php or something like that. Send me whatever you come up with
