PhpWebGallery was originally written by Pierrick Le Gall as a personal project, unaware that other projects like it existed. On April 15, 2002, the first version of PhpWebGallery was released [ [http://phpwebgallery.net/doc/doku.php/en:release_history release history] ]
In order to allow non-programmers to use PhpWebGallery, the software was restructured, this time utilizing templates. This allowed users to change the look of the gallery with only HTML and CSS.
Later versions allowed for images to be stored in any arbitrary location as well as any arbitrary category. The latter was eventually dubbed a "virtual category" [Example of a [http://demo.phpwebgallery.net/index.php?/category/15 virtual category] ] ).
Today, PhpWebGallery is supported by 14 developers and a thriving community.
