In the description it says:
Images could be posted individualy to the front page, included in stories or grouped in galleries. Galleries are either personal, i.e linked to a user, or global to the drupal site.
I can upload one image, but how do I create galleries?
Comments
galleries in image.module
Go into the Categories admin section and create a taxonomy for images; each term in that taxonomy is treated as a gallery.
When you upload images, you choose which gallery you want to assign them to.

Oh, I see. I thought users
Oh, I see. I thought users can upload a series of images to create sort of a photo album. Do I have to write a new module? Or is there a module I can use for that?

image.module
image.module from contributions/modules/image/ allows for either scanning a directory or upload files via http. Or you can wait for 4.6 which should have some gallery functions in the core ... this is what I gather at least. Correct me if i'm wrong.
roll up your sleeves
I haven't tried this myself, but--if your users have the ability to edit the taxonomy, they can create their own terms (ie, galleries in this case). You can use the Admin/Users/Permissions feature to control this; I think there are some add-on modules (taxonomy access control?) to restrict permissions to specific parts of the taxonomy, which you might want.
You don't need to write a new module, or even use a different one, necessarily. Although it isn't as streamlined as you might like, it's all possible using vanilla Drupal and image.module.
One thing that would be very handy for this would be the "taxonomy on-the-fly" module, which allows you to create a new term as needed from the content-creation interface; this has not been updated to 4.5, I don't think.
