Can't wait to find out tomorrow morning if we're in the 10% group (we're usually not :( ).

I've been waiting for a gallery web part ever since the future of sharepoint announcement! :)

Is this a upload-only web part, or can a create I "collection" of photos out of an existing image/document library?

Also it would be awesome if you could improve PDF support in your existing web parts. We have a lot of blurred PDF previews with the Quick Links webpart and the document webpart doesn't support PDFs, which it should (since you could enable office web apps server to view pdfs with office online in sharepoint 2013 back then ;) )

Ivan54 You can select images from your site or upload them. We don't at the moment have a way to point at a folder or list and say "use these images" as a gallery, but it's one of the ideas in our backlog for potential v.next next implementations.

We have on our backlog to enable PDFs in the document web part, but it isn't something we're actively working on.

Thanks for the feedback.
