Ansel is nearing 1.0 status and, IMO, is very stable.  The backend  
storage that it uses to store the actual images is Horde's VFS system,  
which is very mature.  The backend storage it uses for the gallery  
info, permissions etc, is a hierarchical SQL share driver, which,  
while it *is* stable, is a relatively newer driver.

That being said, there are a number of Horde developers using Ansel  
actively...and at least two of us that use it not only within Horde,  
but use it to drive galleries on external websites.

An example external site can be seen at http://theabramsgallery.com,  
and you can view my personal Ansel install (which drives the above  
mentioned site) at http://portal.theupstairsroom.com/horde/ansel

Keep in mind you won't see most of the "cool" features on my site  
while viewing it as a guest.

If you have any questions regarding specific feature, please feel free  
to ask...


Thanks,
mike
