Drupal 6.x - what image galleries are being supported?

Drupal 6.x - what image galleries are being supported in Drupal6.x?
Browsing the media section of the modules area has information that none of the image gallery management modules have been or are being updated for Drupal 6.x. What are the present/future plans regarding image gallery support?
Also, is there anything in Drupal 6.x that provides features analogous to the older flexinodes module?
what does the lack of responses imply?
Should I infer from the lack of responses that there is no longer image gallery support in Drupal 6.x? Should I infer from the lack of responses that nobody has plans to upgrade the older image gallery modules to support Drupal 6.x?

no
You should check the issue queues for the modules you are interested in and see what their status is. Open Source works on a contributing time line unless someone pays for a specific module to be updated.
CCK replaced flexinode.

Image module is available
I have built a couple of sites in D6 using the Image Module http://drupal.org/project/image - available as a 6.x dev release. Works fine with Lightbox2.
are you working with the development snapshot version or what?
According to the page for this module, it is not in official release for 6.x at this point. Are you saying that the development snapshot available from its download page, which implies it is not ready for production use, is working well enough to work with to some extent?

I'm using it here
I'm using it here http://www.geelongfolkmusicclub.com and it's meeting their needs.
Images are uploaded through Create Content-->Image (there is also a bulk import option) and assigned to a Gallery.
Configurable size derivatives are created on upload (can use ImageMagik if your server/host supports it).
Single images are placed with Attach Image (included with Image module).
Additional images are placed using IMCE and BUEditor ( I disallow uploading to user folders as there are only 2 contributors and I force them to upload first so that everything is referenced in the database).
Lightbox2 provides an attractive and efficient way of viewing the images without leaving the current page.
It's working well so far - I've played with every image module under D5 - and I have decided that I'm happy with this current set-up. I just make sure that contributors are trained in the proper workflow.

G'day Slim
Just had a quick look as I noticed Geelong in the URI . . . Melbourne here :)
Not sure if you know but clicking on the image on the front page using Firefox results in the image loading in the same page (then have to hit back button) rather than on top which is what I expected?

Hey Harry, Hmm... not sure
Hey Harry,
Hmm... not sure why that would be.
Just checked all the Lightbox settings and permissions. When I'm logged out it works in FF3beta, IE and Safari. Is js allowed in your browser? As far as I know Lightbox needs javascript.
Cheers
It doesn't work in FF2
I have also installed img_package and lightbox2 and I have the same problem - it doesn't work in FF2 (Linux and Windows). JS is of course activated
It was working! Now it
It was working! Now it starts to work and then reverts to opening the link as a normal jpg
I've upgraded to the latest image dev so maybe something has broken - I'll have to look into it.
UPDATE: I realised that I've been using Firefox3 beta - and it works fine. Clearly there is a Firefox 2 issue.
Img package is also now
Img package is also now available in a full D6 release http://drupal.org/project/img_filter
