Things like the cover scans would for the most part eventually find their way to the wiki, but I also want to share the images some other way. Since they are giant PNGs it's impractical to just put it all out there, but making thumbnail versions so people could request the better version of something specific seemed reasonable. Browsing a standard web directory of file names to find the interesting stuff--not so much. So I was just looking through options for incredibly basic web image galleries and have put one up.

This album software hasn't been updated in years, but it's incredibly easy for me to add images and it's easy for a person to view dozens of thumbnails at once so it's got the basics I need. In the setup area I can choose different image sorting options but I don't see a way to do that while simply viewing it. However, by default it shows them in alphabetical order, and if you just hit the Search button without putting anything in it instead orders them by most recently updated, so those two possibilities should cover most needs--if only it was more obvious.

Note that even the "full size" images you get when clicking on a specific one here are just 10% of the width and height of the original scan, and with heavier JPEG compression than I use for images around the wiki because--they're thumbnails, who cares.
