Refactor the galleries plugin into a reasonable thing instead of the unholy pustule it is now

[ralsina]

There are a number of tasks that need doing:

• Parse index.txt as a Post
• Display richer metadata (templates)
• Refactor code
• Add galleries to tags/categories page?
• Consider gallery translations
• Implement different sorting orders
• RSS feed for each gallery
• Add RSS feeds to gallery templates

And probably more. WIP in the gallery-posts branch

Wold be nice to have some kind of metadata, like tags, for images. I imagine some kind of static file with file names and tags in a python dictionary or better a yaml file.

We’re a Python project, not a Ruby project. Using yaml would be blasphemy. (it also is very ugly).

Now that the index file is a post, you can have as much metadata for the gallery as you want. Metadata for images... ok, that's trickier.

Well Python and Yaml play nice and ugliness is in the eyes of the
beholder. Anyway the python dict is an option. May be I will try some
kind of web2py "wrapper" for adding functionality to Nikola as I get
more confident with both (something like the Alva project described by
@ralsina)

Declaring this campaign a victory. Future enhancements to be tracked in separate issues.
