With a little bit of work I have been able to add photos from my Gallery2 install into a widget in the WP sidebar.

Currently I am showing random images from the site, though I have yet to see if it is going to honour permissions (with the synchronized WP users).  I was able to do the install with the help of the FAQs and information from the Gallery site (http://codex.gallery2.org/Integration:WPG2).

On the whole the installation was pretty painless and went quite smooth.  The only issue I had was with the provider and my lack of an ssh shell to work with on my account.  This brought on the fun of uploading a few thousand files from the "bells and whistles" download version I grabbed.

The gallery can be seen at http://gallery.iambryan.net in all its glory.  You will require a user account to view anything past the wallpaper section (you will find a link to register on the site)

If you have any questions on the details with the installation or would like some help feel free to drop me a comment or an email.

Cheers
