New digikam website source available from KDE's git server

[Andrey Goreev]

On a separate note I would like to suggest adding some videos of how digiKam works.If something simple will do (record screen, add some text comments and background music) I can help with that.I guess we would need to determine the top 5-10 features first.

On the download section, there are too much text to read to find the right version.
Agreed!  This is one of the pages I was hoping to rewrite soon to be a little clearer.  I had written some small OS detection script I use on www.gimp.org to show the most likely relevant download to users when they visit the page - I could possibly re-use that here if you wanted.
Either way, the page is on the to-do list to re-write to be more direct and clear. :)


To resume :
- screenshots stored in local or not ?- If stored in local (git), this is acceptable by KDE team to overload the repository with this kind of huge data ?
Re: Screenshots
I know that historically you've hosted your photos on Flickr.  This is fine, but I would personally suggest hosting them locally if possible.

The reason is that if Flickr, for any reason, goes dark - then you'll have a huge amount of dead images across your site.  I'd hate for that to happen!  Even worse, if the images aren't stored anywhere else then there's a chance you'll lose the mapping of what those images should be. :(
In git, we'll have them and won't have to worry about it (and we don't have to worry about a database not liking them on the backend anymore).
I don't think there's a _huge_ amount of files/sizes to worry about, but I guess it's up to Ben to let us know if that'll be ok.
