Hello all, Recent messages on the Shotwell mailing list have made inquiries about a slowing of the pace of development of the project. Looking at the Geary commit log, you would see a similar dimming of activity. We also have several outstanding unreviewed patches for both projects. We acknowledge this situation and want to let you know that we don't like it any more than you do.
However, the situation isn't permanent. Yorba currently has a work commitment it must meet which has impacted development of our other projects. I can't go into the details of the commitment, but the good news is that it ultimately helps Yorba further development of Shotwell and Geary. We are already planning the next releases of both projects. For Shotwell 0.14, we want to focus on: * Improving the photo import experience * Fixing several outstanding RAW image bugs * Working better with the filesystem, including an option to store fully-transformed images on disk without destroying your originals * Adding a folder tree to the sidebar (indicating where photos are stored on your hard disk) For Geary, we plan on turning our attention to: * Multiple user accounts * Email search * Better support for non-Gmail/Yahoo servers (in particular, Dovecot) * Mail notifications even when Geary isn't running Other features, bug fixes, and stabilization work are planned as well. For more fine-grained information, see Yorba's Redmine server at http://redmine.yorba.org/ Unfortunately I can't promise when this work will begin. The commitment I mentioned must be satisfied and we're working diligently to complete it. All I can ask from our community is some patience and to know that we fully intend to return to both projects shortly. -- Jim Nelson Yorba Foundation _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
