Just a sugestion for the image upload and navigation.
I am writing from end user ( site owner ) point of view.
1. The GS core uploader is more than enough, and should not be duplicated.
2. There are 2 Requirements for the GS uploader:
2.1 - Ability to upload to a folder (1 level folders is enought)
2.2 - Set the maximum picture size for large version of uploaded images, and auto resize to that value.
In most of the cases, an image of 800 x 800 px is enough.
The resize of the large image is easy to set when uploading. The maximum values can be set in config, like thumbnail seting.
3. In CK editor, the site owner needs to be able to browse the images, and insert the thumbnail or the large version.
Unfortunatly, the CK editor is a litle buggy when it comes to images. But I suppose the choise has it's fundaments.
---------------
This is just my opinion, from an end user ( website owner or editor ) point of view.
I was recently proposing the GS cms to some clients, trying to drive them away from wordpress, joomla or concrete 5, and these are the main things that came up.
They said they have problems with the actual image insert, copy and paste code. Their problem being that they do not know where to insert the code in html.
I am allso a programmer, so I understand there is a lot of effort you guys need to invest.
However, in order for a project to become large scale popular, it needs to be accessible and user friendly when it comes to images too.
From the most point of views it is allready the first choise when it comes to simplicity. It allso has to stay that way.
