Hi,
I've uploaded the new screenshots at http://amarok.kde.org/en/screenshots
And about the social page we've talked about, I've created it at
http://amarok.kde.org/en/node/760/ . Please do check it out and give
your opinions and ideas to improve it. Lydia was planning on having a
vertical list with text and icons, and I was rooting for the current
horizontal, without text layout; so we sort of need your opinions
about it. Also, I'll be busy again for a few days, so I won't be there
on IRC, hence please keep this discussion running on the amarok-promo
list.
