Another gallery generator has been written by Ivan Raikov: sigma. It
produces static html pages. You can find it in the usual place, the
docs are here: http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/sigma

I am using it to post the pictures of chicken events:

Of course the layout etc can be tweaked beyond recognition which I did
not do...
