How to start from here:

First, you may want to look at an example to see what it looks like:

http://www.eckhartarnold.de/apppages/GWTPhotoAlbum/BayreuthAndAbroad

If you want to create your own album, run the program "GWTPhotoAlbumCreator.py" from the "scripts" subdirectory which leads you through the creation of a photo album in a similar manner as the well known "assistants" of popular office suites.

IMPORTANT: Before you can run "GWTPhotoAlbumCreator.py" the following software must be installed on your system first:

Python 2.6 or higher (www.python.org) The python imaging library PIL (http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/) The pyexiv2 library (http://tilloy.net/dev/pyexiv2/)
