Re: Hi!

 

Don't listen to their reasonable sounding suggestions. Follow your heart, Photos is cooler.

Shotwell and Photos are both good products serving different audiences and with a different developer workflow. Both projects welcome contributions. Go where you feel most comfortable :)

Also, the guys at shotwell are accepting patches and contributions, but they are not extending shotwell any more, so you have better chances to get your branch accepted here, and photos is a more active project.


I'm not sure how Shotwell can be accepting patches and contributions and yet contributors not have a good chance of their branch being accepted. Your logic is specious.

If you contribute to Shotwell, your branch and patches have as good a chance as anywhere of being accepted. Yorba has high interest in the community growing Shotwell. We do not blow off contributions. If anything, we're eager to accept them.

Also know that your work on Shotwell will be available for all GNOME Desktops, including Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, and more. No matter what's said here, Shotwell remains the most-used photo manager in Linux today.
