CodeIgniter is an amazing PHP framework for rapid application development. A huge thanks goes out to the EllisLab Network. GalleryCMS currently uses the CodeIgniter 1.7.2 framework.
I've found that there is a strong demand for administration panels for image galleries - particularly ones built in Flash. Typically, a Flash-based image gallery is supported by images that are referenced in a static XML file. The problem is that you need to have your customers trained properly to edit the XML file to manage their content. This is risky becuase the structure of XML is sensitive, which is likely to result in a structure error at some point when trying to manage several categories and dozens of images. This is where GalleryCMS comes in. It is a very straight-forward, easy-to-use administrative interface that allows a user to login and simply manage their content.
