Do you think I wrote a separate theme for Gallery2 on coccinella.im?
You really don't know how lazy I am :D The nice thing is that you
*don't* need to write a separate theme for Gallery as it *integrates*
with Drupal; whatever theme you have available in Drupal, Gallery will
adapt to. See also this page:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Integration:Drupal

So, the only thing to do is:
1) Deploy a default Gallery2 installation
2) Follow the Drupal-embedded guide to know which Gallery modules you
have to enable and disable for sure.
3) Install the Gallery Drupal module in Drupal
4) Done, start adding pictures

For the Coccinella website:
* The default Gallery2 install is here: http://coccinella.im/gallery2
<--nobody will see this page normally; as you can see, there is no
special theme
* The Gallery module in Drupal converts the same into this:
http://coccinella.im/gallery <--as you can see it embeds Gallery2 into
the Coccinella website like if it was part of the Drupal software; all
magic, no work needed to make a separate theme, and so very nice for
lazy people like me :o)

It has to offer lots *without* much effort...that's my own experience
from coccinella.im; I just wanted to share this experience...
