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.
