It's part of your application to identify the challenges involved in
your task and how you would tackle them.

>From the ideas page:
"The ability for site admins to add static content like photographer
profiles, set future publish dates for photos and albums, notify
subscribed members of changes and other similar task are not currently
available.

Deliverable: Several small modules to enable new photoblog specific
features, including (but not limited to) a small CMS module, future
posting and subscriber notification. "

I think that's a good starting point.
I'd also investigate the basic feature-set of available photo-blog
software as well as taking a closer look at the Wordpress-G2
integration.

The ideas page gives a very concise overview of things that need to be
addressed.
Part of the task will be
- identifying what FK to set,
- how to add FKs to our XML schema which describes the storage,
- update the generate-sql.php script to add FK DDL to the generated
SQL
- update GalleryStorage and possibly other classes to execute their
queries in an order that works with the new FK constraints.

A good starting point is reading the large safe-mode discussion topic
in the gallery 2 forum (there's also a link to it in the G2 FAQ).
