I am brand new to the project, so I don=E2=80=99t know if I=E2=80=99m =
allowed to comment or not, but as a developer with over 30 years of =
experience I can say that one of the things that slows adoption of any =
software is poor documentation.  I think the digiKam documentation is =
pretty good, but there=E2=80=99s always room for improvement with =
anything.=20

Gilles or someone much more experienced with the project should comment =
with the final approval, but I don=E2=80=99t see how better =
documentation would do anything but help.

Cheers,
Mike
