Customize RoboGallery – Add pics on Front End, Vote for Pics?

Hi, First, I want to thank you for your effort in putting together this excellent gallery plugin!

I’d like help in creating two custom mods (we are using the pro version of your plugin).

1.) Enable users to upload pictures to a Robo Gallery from the front-end.
Creating a gallery from the front-end would be desirable, but uploading to an existing gallery would suffice. [NOTE: We currently use ‘User Submitted Posts’ to enable registered users to create posts. This gives access to WP Media Library & Uploads and allows use of custom post types.]

2.) Enable users to like/vote for pictures.
Enable the ability for users to click on a specific picture to show they like it. Track the number of ‘likes’ or ‘votes’ per picture (visible on the pic itself) and enable admins to see which pics have the most ‘likes’ at any given time. Sorting the gallery by this field would be very desirable also, but not necessary.

Would you be able to help me get started on these mods, at least point me in the right direction? Perhaps there are plugins that would help do these things?

Thanks!
