If you can, I'd suggest watching the iLife '08 Guided Tour <http://
www.apple.com/ilife/guidedtour/>. It's excellent and will answer all
of your questions posed below.

You can have a Password protected area for family or friends.

Yes.

I think that a person with iPhoto (not the owner) can subscribe to Web Gallery and be able to publish, as well as see published photos there.

From iPhoto, multiple selection, then send to Web Gallery. From the iPhone, I think you can send one at a time.

Yes. They can subscribe to the Web Gallery.

No problem. Check out Apple area under iLife '08 on the Web Gallery for more info <http://www.apple.com/ilife/iphoto/#webgallery>.

Yes, you can save the photos in the gallery to disk, but...
the smarts in the gallery live on Apple's servers, not in the
upload. So you don't get nearly the same effect.

You may, with programming, get effects you like better, of course.

Unanswerable question (thanks to NDA): does "scrubbing" come in a
few handy API calls in Leopard?

As far as I can see (I've published three personal galleries so far), there
is no way to publish to disk. It only works with .Mac.
