Issue Summary
I wondering if there is a way to allow multiple users to contribute the a gallery they have not created. Specifically, I would like to allow them to add and edit there own content to a gallery but not effect the order of others photos, or the settings on the gallery it's self. Perhaps this could be achieved with more granular permissions? or perhaps it could be achieved through node access http://drupal.org/project/content_access although, since the images are not actually nodes, I'm not sure if this approach would really work. Thoughts?
Thanks

Hi I'm searching for the same kind of functionality.
Our tourist website has editorial "mother" pages (destinations, monuments and stuff) with their own photogallery (through Gallery Assist). Now we would like users to be able to "append" additional "child" pages (or maybe extended comments in some way) to those basic pages which could include either text and/or images/galleries.
I have just started to explore and most surely it will take some weeks.
Thought to simply start trying with the core "Book" option. Not sure if you can set user "edit only own book pages" options for this and if they can work the same way as the mother page.
We would like our website to turn into some sort of community, so I did some first orientation on Organic Groups too, but I'm not sure if this is too big for our intentions. Our website already seems to be using a lot of resources and very slow.
However I like the "Content of the "Group Content Type" has the unique ability to belong to multiple Groups at once. This reduces duplication and increases content accessibility. " concept: http://drupal.org/node/1114932
If I find solutions I'll repost.

Book is not an option, at least not for us. In a new book page you have to redefine all settings that allready exist on the mother page: map, taxonomy, domain etc etc...

Hi, just found the theoretic solution to "contribute to a gallery they have not created"
The core Comments could do of course part of the job, but then people cannot add a gallery. However, I discovered "Node Comments" - http://drupal.org/project/nodecomment. This module treats comments as a node for which you can set a content-type (say, comment-type). So theoretically you could assign the Gallery Assist functionality to comment-type and that's it!
There is just one problem.... the comments DON'T appear... (http://drupal.org/node/900418 and ...another I don't find back...)
In fact, there is also seems to be a problem with Core comments: if collapsed by default (which is how I would like it) then they don't expand anymore.
Anyway, even so I tried to assign GA to the comment-type, which worked, but it didn't upload any pictures :(
I'll go have a look to find out if that is some configuration problem from my side or if it because of the combination of the two...
I also tried Content Referrer but that module, I don't even understand...

Hi again,
I have been able to work out the former theoretic solution and put it into practice. Not with Nodecomment however, my questions have not been answered there, but I achieved it anyway with Node Referrer: http://drupal.org/project/nodereferrer
You can see the result at http://onamap.org/nl/spanje/spanje.html
The main page here has a gallery too, but strangely the "public for all" setting keeps falling back to just "public" so as anonymous user you don't see it. Another example at http://onamap.org/nl/spanje/andalusie/sevilla.html
Anyway, the important thing is that you see the user-input below the main content: inline, just the teaser and WITH gallery! :-)
For me it means the start of a new options!!
