I've got a crash on my server and decided to move away
from my Gentoo and go to FreeBSD. It seems I've forgot
some files ;-(.

But that's true that the current code of djKPA is not
really "polished".

As far as I'm correct, I've never been contacted by
you with improvements, new features, ... or complaints
about the missing link to the tgz.

I've just added several features on top:
- front page 
- voting
- comments
- sizing

You should see http://d200.vmrt.homelinux.com/photos/

You are free to diseable what you don't want.

But, you know, KPA has already HTML output.

That's exactly the right menu of djKPA. It's totally
dynamic and build with KPA data.
