digiKam English documentation

[Michael Miller]

I am brand new to the project, so I don’t know if I’m 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’s always room for improvement with anything. 

Gilles or someone much more experienced with the project should comment with the final approval, but I don’t see how better documentation would do anything but help.

Cheers,
Mike
