Description
Is there anything that one should not use it for production site ?
For example, I do not need to uninstall it or need mass-import or stuffs like lightbox etc.
Is there any problem that I should know if I start using it for a production site ?
Please release a supported version for Drupal 6x. If there are no problem please mark the current version green - it can stop many confusions.

Besides from being effectivly unmaintained this module is looking pretty nice. But I personally don't have the skills nor the money to hire someone to do the finishing/maintanance necessary to work with this module.
Note: Node_Gallery is under heavy development at the moment and on a good way.

I've looked at node_gallery and don't see any reason for it to exist. From the status of AF, I think I will have to switch to Image Gallery or code my own Views, which I would really rather not do.

I want automatic per user galleries, and currently the only way I've seen to get it is AcidFree or Gallery 2. Gallery 2 needs a bridge which I hate, so that leaves AcidFree.
If the developer is no longer working on it, why doesn't someone else take over?
They keep saying CCK+ImageField/Image+Views is the future, but who cares if it's impossible to get anything done that way now. I need a per user gallery installed within the next few days. Not next few years.
Are there other options? How about http://drupal.org/project/photos instead...?
If AcidFree is still my best choice, is this the best D6 version and is it stable?

Apparently there is no problem with the above version. At least with the photos part. I have not used the video part and will not. For images, and as far as I have tested things work fine.
The developer is busy with his day job. And Drupal 7 is going to be unusable for a long long time as many modules for 6 will take long time to get ready for 7. There are apparently no new features for our site members in D7. And by the time, time rolls by I guess D 8 will peek in horizon. I have decided to stick with D 6 for the gallery need. We will be busy with getting real users and real content of our site, so there will be no time to run after Drupal versions.
