[Digikam-users] Re: Thanks for the rc release Building digiKam for dummies continued

[sleepless]

Thanks for your kind words,

It does not have any piority to me to be in the the contest. If I 
thought I had a chance to win I would take the effort so I could donate 
the netbook to digikam, but that would look to much like fraud. But feel 
free to copy and past my work to anywhere it can do some good.

kind regards,
Rinus
