Update: eSPG 2.0 Released

Enhanced Simple PHP Gallery is an open source software module originally designed as a simple way to post photos online. With version 2.0, it has been completely overhauled to support detailed annotation ("footnotes") of objects (such as artwork or photos), including citations, dimensions, latitude/longitude and other identification metadata. The latest version is maintained by the development team at Point B Studio.
