The Gallery (http://gallery.sf.net) Java client has an interest way to  
upload batch files to the server. But maybe an ol' FTP open is all you  
need to have users just clic a link and drag and drop the pics into the  
site (assuming we talk about IE/Konqueror users).

Again, Flash or Java applet might help you with the end-user client. At  
the end of the day u just need the path of the images to register and  
retrieve.
