Joining in the fun?

Hello all.

I've been a long time user of f-spot for... well... 5 years, ever since 
I got my first digital camera. I've seen it rise (yay) but I've also 
seen it fall (oh noes), with development falling behind. I've read the 
various reasons on the mailing list archives, and I thought it would be 
a pity if all went to waste.

I didn't raise my hand when a new maintainer/head developer was sought 
out, because I don't have the time nor ability to take it upon me (my 
core developer experience is more around Java/J2EE).

However, I think after all F-spot has helped me with my picture library, 
it's high time I contribute back whatever I can.

I know the usual recommendations for jumping in FOSS projects is to 
start small, submitting a bug or making translations/doc, but I think 
f-spot has enough bug reports as it is ;).

I built locally and loaded in MonoDevelop the stable-0.8 branch, to see 
if I would be able to find my way around things easily, and started to 
see if I would manage to analyse even a simple bug.

I picked 624414 (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624414) 
because I reproduce it myself, so it would be easier to investigate.

I think I got part of the answer, though, but would need some help:

Analysis: I added more log information to check what was actually sent 
back by Facebook, the list of albums is an empty XML document. According 
to the FB developer documentation, the app requires the user_photos 
permission in order to be able to read Albums: 
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/album/. I don't think 
the F-Spot Export Plugin App *has* this authorization (I actually 
checked that too).

Question: who's the F-Spot Export Plugin App owner on facebook?

Thanks,

Matthieu Nguyen
