Motivation for the project
--------------------------
-The idea is to develop a free photo manager that will act as a front-end for
-directory based local storage as well as remote photo-storage systems, as can
-be said, on the "Cloud". Basic editing support is also planned as well as a
-small pipelaine for RAW processing. Please check the TODO file for more
-details.

-Another motivation for this project is to break the performance charecteristics
-of current popular photo management softwares and provide a fast and reliable
-alternative that does not place humongous demands on user's hardware resources
-even to meet basic functionality.

Why is it called "Solang"?
--------------------------
-While looking for a random name, we noticed the name on one of our office
-workstations. It was called "solang" and so we stand here today with this name.
