*****************************************************************************
Name: Picasa module
Author: Kevin Bridges http://kevinbridges.org/
Drupal: 6.x
*****************************************************************************
DESCRIPTION:

The Picasa module is a complex module that utilizes Google's Picasa API to
display Web Albums and Photos as they appear in your account at
http://picasaweb.google.com/ ... it is advisable to have publicly viewable
pictures available before using this module.

*****************************************************************************
EXPECTED ALBUM FUNCTIONALITY:

1. Create an Album in Drupal and have it created on Picasa.  Create information
   includes Title, Date, Description, Place Taken, and Access Control.
2. Edit an Album in Drupal and have the changes reflected on Picasa
    - If an Album's properties on Picasa have changed the Drupal Album will be
      synchronized with Picasa.
    - If the Picasa Album exists on Drupal but has been removed from Picasa it
      will be removed from Drupal.
3. Synchronize a Drupal Album with a Picasa Album.  Edit and Save a Drupal Album
   node whose corresponding Album has changed on Picasa and the Drupal Album and
   Photos will be updated to reflect what is on Picasa.  The act of saving the
   Drupal node is the trigger for synchronization.  Performing this action will
   update the Albums photos to reflect what is stored in the Album on Picasa.

*****************************************************************************
INSTALLATION:

1. Place picasa folder into your Drupal modules/ directory.

2. Enable the picasa module(s) by navigating to
					admin > modules

3. Create a Picasa Guser at node/add

4. Picasa Web Albums are available on your site as regular nodes

*****************************************************************************
DEVELOPMENT STATUS:

I am working on finishing the other data types so that this module works
correctly in the context of Drupal.  This release provides the minimal
functionality to start sharing the albums of you and your friends.
