Or do I sound like a lunatic? Opinions, please :) Doing all you describe in 1 summer is overoptimistic I think. But you can lay good foundations for it and then add the eyecandy later on :) I know nothing about shotwell, but my feeling is that you'd have to leave at least the world map showing pictures out for a realistic schedule. But to get a more definitive answer about this, you should get in touch with the shotwell developers, you'll find contact information on http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/Shotwell Thanks, Christophe
