Are there any 'gallery' type applications (i.e. those like gallery2) which also allow quite a lot of text with them so that one can create a picture gallery with a narrative?
I'm looking for the same thing - am about to check out kallery, which presumably you've looked at already.
It (kallery) doesn't really provide much narrative does it. None of the demo sites I found from the kallery home page has anything more than a series of pictures with titles.
There is a free but not OSS package called Rev Media, which will do it. That's the free version of a hypercard derivative. It will do the job just fine.... but its not OSS. You will have to do a bit of programming, actual coding, but its very easy indeed to get started and do a slide show, it won't take you more than an hour to learn all you need for that.
I can't find this at all, searching for "Rev Media" comes up with zillions of hits but not what one wants. I tried adding a few more search terms like 'story' and 'photo' but still couldn't find it.
I'm actually probably going to go with a blog application or, more likely now, a wiki of some sort to get what I want. I'm seriously into configuring and playing with DokuWiki at the moment.
