I read this draft but I wasn't sure how this figured into our
publishing strategy for the coming weeks. Personally I think a story
that says "we don't know yet what the next photo app will be, or if
there'll be one" isn't very interesting for the audience. I don't
think it's helpful to direct thousands of readers to a conversation
where they don't have a lot of context.
It's more useful to me to have a newer look at image viewers than the
previous article. People already know they have choices, maybe a good
revision would be to show them updates there?
I have to agree with Paul. Perhaps it would be good to angle it as "With Shotwell \
being forked, it's future in Fedora may be limited... These {X number of} replacement \
options are vying for top spot..."
It would be great to include Darktable in with the options as well as it's one of the \
most capable tools available to manage photos.
