KPhotoAlbum - now open for new contributions

    The last three years have been no fun in the history of KPhotoAlbum. We have
    been struggling with porting KPhotoAlbum to Qt4/KDE4.

    During that period we for sure have lost many users that got bored from the
    lack of releases, and also many contributors that got fat up by
    listening to me saying no, no, no and no again to new features.

    Recognizing the enormous work the port would be, I had the strong belief
    that the best path to getting through it would be to
    concentrate on the port alone, and not get lost in a million new features
    at the same time. I'll let history judge if that was a good or a bad
    approach.

    Anyway, now we are through, and a KDE 4 release have been a few month ago,
    and new development has started!

    To that end, I've spent the last week on adding a new section to the
    website trying to help people get started with contributing
    . Among
    other things a number of junior tasks have been identified.

    So if you are interested in joining KPhotoAlbum development, why not drop
    by #kphotoalbum at irc.kde.org this weekend, and get started with your
    contribution.
