There is a large update to do in digiKam handbook, especially with main 
interface (sidebar descriptions, search tools, etc.)

I will working on digiKam handbook : general descriptions, all screenshots, 
and  image editor parts. I think that Camera interface no need any changes. 

I will working too on Showfoto handbook. DigikamImagePlugins handbooks are 
completed (still any screenshots to update but i18n are been done by me and 
fixed by Gerhard).

I need one week to do this task (during beta2 stage)

I need any helps from team to :

- update main interface descriptions. 
- Re-reading my English words in image editor, showfoto, and general 
description part when it will be done.

Any contributors welcome !
