Top 5 digikam features to list on new home page

[Pat David]

Looking at the responses and thinking in terms of general marketing, I
think something along the lines of:

* Open Source
* Cross Platform
* Organizing (tags, geotagging, face-detect, etc)
* Scales (<100k items, no problem)
* Built by photographers (this may be on it's own line/section - but I feel
it's important so that folks realize it's created/maintained by people like
them).

Speaking of "built by photographers" - Do we have any headshots or images
of the principal devs on the project?  Gilles?  Can we put a face to the
project? :)

I would definitely include that it scales very well with huge collections.
The rest is hard to put into flashy one-sentence sales pitches, as it is
lots of handy features around picture management. Alone they don't sound
overly impressive (flexible batch renaming, tagging and flagging, metadata
handling, ...), but being able to do that seamlessly in one
program/interface makes is really cool. Challenge for the linguistically
gifted: Convert that to such a one-sentence advert :P

- The 16 bits color depth support natively.
- Fast photo adjustments in 3 clicks.
- Large amount of collection. Here more than 100000 items populate the
database.
- Cross platform, even if OSX and Windows are not too mature than Linux. At
least, i pass a lots of time to finalize bundles construction fully
automatized. AppImage is supported which is really a huge step for
deployment, when Linux distro only provide old version.
- This project exists since 2001, and is managed by people who like to take
photo.
- Metadata transparent workflow.
and more...

just my two cents:
DigiKam is cross-platform (Linux, Windows, Mac)
