We agree that improving Shotwell's slideshow capabilities would be a 
great summer project.  We've now added Shotwell to the ideas page for 
Fedora Summer Coding 2010 at 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_2010_ideas .  Since you're 
interested in this project, the next step is for you to submit an 
application to Fedora by May 20th as described on the main Summer Coding 
page at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_2010 .

Of course we hope that Fedora will accept and fund this project, but 
that is beyond Yorba's control - we'll find out by the end of this month.

By the way, the other summer project we've listed on our idea page is 
improving printing in Shotwell, which is currently very basic (today we 
can only print one photo per page, always on a plain white background).  
If there are any students on this mailing list interested in working on 
that project we'd encourage them to apply to Fedora as well.

We also believe that using Clutter for slideshow transitions makes 
sense.  If you have more thoughts about how to implement transitions in 
Shotwell we'd be happy to discuss more.
