[KPhotoAlbum] kphotoalbum.org developers page

[Tobias Leupold]

Hi all!

Yesterday, I reworked the developers page of kphotoalbum.org. I changed the
HTML and CSS to a slightly more elegant version (one should rework the whole
thing I think ;-) and split the page to two parts: an "Active developers" page
and a "Hall of Fame" for past developers. I also added Johannes and me to the
developers page.

I simply had a look at the git log for the last three years. Those who didn't
appear there were moved to the "Past developers" page. No offense! If I moved
somebody mistakenly, please let me know.

Also, probably there are some of you guys out there who do contribute
regularly but were not mentioned on the developers page yet. Please let me
know. After all, this is a chance to update/add the/a photo and/or update the
text. If you write/send me what should be there, I'll put in on the page.

If no one has an objection against it, I would also work a bit on the whole
page if I have some free time. E. g. changing to a more elegant menu generator
(I have written a quite nice one for my own homepage) and so on.

Cheers, Tobias

Hi Tobias,
I think I shouldn't really be present on the "active developers" page. As
weird as it sounds to propose myself for the "hall of fame" :), I think
that with my long-standing laziness, I cannot really be considered active
anymore.

The reason for my inactivity is that I spend more time with my CR2s. I
found myself launching Darktable more and more, and while that tool doesn't
provide as nice tagging and navigating as KPhotoAlbum, my work now focuses
more on "picking the best images", "making the best out of the raw files"
and "making them consistent with each other" rather than the workflows I
used to do years ago, and which KPA excelled (and still excells) in.

According to my index.xml, it's been nice six years of KPA usage, from 2008
to 2013. I would like to thank Jesper for starting this huge effort, for
making me a KDE developer via accepting my first FLOSS patch ever, and for
inviting us to his home for that marvelous development sprint. A big thank
you goes to Henner and Tuomas for being there and being able to chat with
you. Thank you to the users who tested our software and provided bugreports
and reproducible descriptions of random failures. Finally, thank you to the
developers who are carrying the torch now, and continuing to make the
KPhotoAlbum awesome in future.

I can say that I miss the relative clarity of C++ and the pleasancy of Qt
now that I occasionally send patches to a GTK app written in C :).

May the good light, steady hands, fast lenses and low-noise sensors
accompany the fellow photographers. May the code which you programmers
produce be relatively bug-free, and let the remaining bugs entertain you
enough to stick around working on projects you enjoy.

Cheers,
Jan

If you feel like it - you're welcome back to hack KPA any time you want :)
