What can the pixls.us photographic community help DigiKam?

Fri Mar 24 21:37:07 GMT 2017

All,

I've enabled the repo (git clone git at git.kde.org:websites/digikam-org) for
those with dev access that's what i used to clone.

It was an empty repo.  I've initialized it with a copy of the
.commit-template from kdelibs, and I've pushed, so first commit should be
in.

Dmitri, Mica or I would be happy to help you with writing content - we'll
probably also write a meta post somewhere detailing the steps to take and
how to use the new system (I did somethign similar with
http://www.gimp.org/about/meta).
