Re: Being honest about the development of f-spot

[Stephen Shaw <sshaw decriptor com>]

I talked to Ruben a bit and I think I'll try and put up some of the
f-spot stuff.  As I learn the code base I'll try and update things and
clean up things that don't need to be in there anymore.  Of course
working towards a gtk 3 port.  I'm looking at the banshee stuff and
seeing what they have done so far.

Cheers,
Stephen
