[Shotwell] Contributing to Yorba/Shotwell

[David Velazquez]

This bears remembering I think, a lot of things can change in Shotwell.
Though it was early in the morning for me I remember reading that Mallard
was especially useful in organizing things so that changes could be made
easily. I hope that's what I read.

I will definitely take a further look at contributing to the Ubuntu Manual
project if I can get into things nicely. I've already perused the manual and
handed it off to people to use. It's a great project!

Hey Robert, thanks for chiming in! It looks like Mallard will be the way to
go. I appreciate the links to the guides and information. I'm sure I'll be
stopping by ubuntu-desktop one of these days.

Since it's been determined Mallard is the way to go I'll try and toy around
with it over the next few days and see where I end up. I'm familiar with
basic html so hopefully this won't be too hard to figure out.
