There are some mock-up pages in dev-wiki where to start from: http://darktable.org/redmine/projects/darktable/wiki/MetadataBrowserGui I agree that any developer could be a potential darktable developer, but here some consideration: - we can create our branch to develop new features or a new metadata management; but this branch could be accepted or refused from the main developer team - yes, it exists :D - imo we need to keep new features consistent with the rest of dt style. So is important to talk with dt devs before start a new feature (dev mailing list or irc) - we are discussing in dt-users mailing list, but I think not all developers read this ML. I know this is like a cross-topic, but imo should be better move this thread in dev mailing list (if you want discuss about develop new feature) - of course someone could develop a new magic feature without devs approval, free software permits this. But please try before another way ;) In the past I raised the problem of poor tag management and I agree most part of developer are interested about image processing (...dt is first a raw development sw). I think the main problem isn't find people who write code, but write a good specification document/wiki to describe how to implement feature, how to revamp the UI and how to manage metadata in dt database. And to do this job a "normal user" is important like a "power developer". We need also consider workflows are different so couldn't be easy find a solution. finally: +1 to try to write a white paper or to discuss about existing dev-wiki.... Is the most important starting point :) Ivan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
