Ok, let's try an example ;)

I think you saw Georg's rgsmoothgallery (it uses lightbox to show
images). For my own client I had to make another gallery, with 3
states (this was a requirement): thumbnails in rows, single view
(mid–sized image) and full image in popup on click in the single
view. For another project I had to make yet another gallery, with
subfolder support and quota check, which accepts codes received by
SMS using fancy GUI. I could not reuse anything in TER.

How could rgsmoothgallery and my two galleries be combined into one
extension? Do you see the way?
