Hello, my name is Dražen and I graduated computer science in Croatia a couple of weeks ago. I am a big fan of Ubuntu and open source and I would like to start contributing to open source as much as I can. Since I also do amateur photography and I use Shotwell for organising my photos, I thought this would be a very good target project.
So, a couple of things: - there is a feature I would like to add to Shotwell - picking good photos from an event. My ideal workflow in photography would be: importing photos -> picking the good ones (archiving the rest - you never know when you might want to see them) -> editing them -> publishing them Now, all of this is possible in Shotwell, but the picking (which is only available partially as marking, but it drags the photos out of the context of events and doesn't offer much more - like hiding the non-marked photos etc.) I think it would be nice to create a new way to _pick good photos_ and be able to use this information to for example hide the rest of the photos from an event, publish only the picked photos etc. - another feature I would like to add, maybe at a later stage, is connecting Shotwell with the recently released Ubuntu One API to allow people to synchronize the picked and edited photos between their machines and be able to access them from a laptop for example (maybe even the web) - where do you think it would be best for me to begin? Maybe start with some existing bug to get to know the lay of the code or start working directly on the task I proposed? Any proposals or comments? Best regards, Dražen _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
