[Digikam-users] Users manual?

[Guillaume Paumier]

Bottom line:

* digiKam is an open-source project.
* Contributors to digiKam are all volunteers, and as such they are
entitled to do what they want and like to do. If they prefer to
develop cool new features, that's their most sacred right.
* Posting angry rants on this mailing list demanding usability
improvements is useless. Usability is always a critical issue (heck,
it's my job) and *everyone* is already aware of that.
* Posting angry rants on this mailing list demanding usability
improvements is also utterly counter-productive: it not only upsets
the volunteer contributors, but it also deprives them of precious time
that would otherwise be spent improving the software (be it for new
features or, say, usability).
* If you really care about usability, either join the team and improve
it yourself, or provide calm, detailed, specific suggestions that
developers can implement to improve the user experience. /That/ is
constructive.
* If all you can/want to do is rant on a mailing list, STFU. It
accomplishes nothing.
