+ABOUT:

+via an intuitive interface.

+SECURITY (& INTENDED AUDIENCE):
+This is the first technology release of Gallery 3.0 and as such
+it is not intended to be installed on public websites yet.
+Note:
+ - The application has not undergone a professional security audit
+ yet and may have serious security vulnerabilities.
+ - A series of key features are yet to be added (e.g. a way to
+ reset a forgotten password).
+ - There is no guaranteed upgrade path yet. You might be forced to
+ reinstall Gallery 3 to use the next public release.
+
+The intended audience of this release are enthusiasts, designers
+and module developers. This is the right time to do a test drive
+with the improved user interface and to start developing feature
+extensions and designing new themes.
