New digikam website source available from KDE's git server

Sat Apr 1 05:18:10 BST 2017

On the download section, there are too much text to read to find the right
version.

When user show at the first time this page, it start to read contents and
he discover a lots of text. A quick conclusion : it's complex to get the
application.

Look in Marble :

https://marble.kde.org/install.php?

This exemple is more clear. Logo capture user vision on the right item :
Windows, MacOS, Linux, etc...

This do not mean that current contents of page must be removed. The
contents is important, but it must be designed differently...

Note : The contents come from older web site which have been designed step
by step when time permit. This take age and it's not the main goal of this
kind of project. This is why older web site was not perfect...
