  I think that there're two different problems.
  The first one is the backend solution to choose.
  The second, the client.
  
  For the client, when I used it, I liked F-Spot, which has export plugins for picasa and flickr (among others but .mac I think).
  
  For the backend, I'm still have doubts about what are really my requirements. I think it of a two features thing: the storage (with public/private access) and the content show.
  The content display, I think that I would end doing myself (probably with seaside).
  The storage is what I can't figure out right now which is the best approach.
  I think that some of any of them, which supports "raw" upload (ie picasa/flickr/others?) should be good enough, if you can access your tagging/grouping information from the client-software and use it in the content-display solution (ie: your blog, wiki, whatever).
  
  Thanks for the table!

  Basically, because it's incredibly crufty to install properly (i.e.,
  with the right kind of extensions) and prone to security issues.

  Hmm yeah I've been using (http://oroux.com/photo/) Gallery2 (http://gallery.menalto.com/), an open-source PHP web gallery, has gazillions of features including iPhoto and Aperture export plugins, tons of different themes, features etc.
  Worth giving it a try.

  About Flickr, you're missed two points here:
  - It integrates easily with Lightroom (what, you're still stuck with iPhoto?) via the new export plugin
  - The pro account has no upload limit. Yes, you pay for it, but it's a lot cheaper than the .mac account.

  Sure, but my views on Lightroom are a matter of public record (i.e., I find it bloated and unusable) and I'm already paying the dotmac tax anyhow... I'll add another footnote later.

  Well, don't know how it works on the Mac, but in windows it works pretty fast.. and very easy to use. And yes, I've started using more windows because there isn't a Lightroom for Linux (and yes, digiKam, BibleSoft and LightZone suck big time).. And, no buying a Mac isn't an option :)
