Perhaps a very silly question, but could they manage with using one of the freely available things like Flickr, Picassa, or even Facebook or Google+. They could upload and organise the photos as they wanted, have albums, add locations etc. All without you having to do anything!
Or am I missing a point?
They like having the pictures securely stored on my computer(s) at home. I do have a pretty thorough backup system with increment backups going to a NAS in the garage which is 50yds or so from the house so even a fire is very unlikely to destroy the data.
I *think* I have a satisfactory solution now by the way, there are some quite neat (and easy to install and maintain) WordPress plugins that manage photo galleries. I'm trying NextGen at this very moment and it seems to do all that's needed (and more) and is also very easy (along with WordPress) to maintain.
The sites to which gallery2 was linked were already WordPress sites so this makes a lot of sense, I don't know why I didn't think of it before.
