I'm tired of dealing with crappy PHP scripts, so, I'll be working on a new, from scratch, TGP script, and I need some ideas.

First off, the decisions that are inflexible:
- it is written in python
- it will use RSS feeds for it's content

Beyond that, it's wide open - things I'm planning at this point:
- custom parsing strings for extracting thumb_url, title, description, category (basically, better handling of weirdly formatted feeds)
- configurable update interval per RSS feed
- support multiple thumb urls from each RSS item
- support multiple domains with per-domain themes and included categories

Things I'm considering, but unsure if should be included:
- top clicked galleries bar (auto promotion)
- link exchange support built in
- still debating static html generation vs decent caching
- supporting multiple pages (i.e. archive) vs just a set number of thumbs on a single page.


So, what am I missing? All suggestions welcome...
