[Shotwell] Want to contribute but I have some problems here and a question.

Hi Allison,

First off, big thanks for your quick answer, help and fix ! :)

Why don't you done all GUI part with Glade ? I mean, is there a big 
reason, or just because you don't really like it or anything else ?
On my point of view, I prefer to use Glade as much as I can for the GUI 
part, and just connect callback to my classes.
I think I must be clear with all of you on that point if I want to 
implement something.

Well, let me have a try with your help. Wait and see :)


So, my feature ! :)

In order to found all pictures with a given person
As a user
I want to be able to define in each pictures how is present on it.

And maybe, if all run good, implement library for face recognition.
But in a first step, I just want to have the possibility to set who is 
on the picture, and then have a screen with all faces, select one, and 
this all that pictures.
I have think about a shape that the user can move of the picture, and 
re-size it, and the name, just under, of that person.
I also want to link that person to the address book of Ubuntu ( I don't 
see any way for Window ? ).

If you have any comments, idea, suggestion, etc ... do not hesitate to 
contact me ! :)
