The Photo Management For The Masses

[Gerhard Kulzer-3]

I just updated some stuff on our project homepage, and I stumbled over the
slogan "The Photo Management For The Masses".

To be frank, I never liked it much, and it starts to annoy me. digiKam is
truely for everybody (free) and targets pro photographers as well. "for the
masses" sounds a bit like "throwing out the window" to me.

I therefore suggest to change the slogan to
        "The Photo Management For Everybody"

What do YOU think about it?


Gerhard

This slogan have been inspired from Depeche Mode album "Music for the masses":

Of course, "For the Masses" can be unadapted with digiKam project. Feel free to fix it to be better...

With either phrase, I think the leading "The" is unneeded.

e.g. "Photo management For the Masses"
or   "Photo Management For Everybody"

My €0.02.

While I kinda agree with Gerhard's point about the phrase, I don't
really like the replacement suggestion.... that said I'm low on
inspiration myself today so can't think of a better one... other than
perhaps ".... for the People" (it's inclusive unlike "for the Masses"
and kinda hints a little at Freeness too).

My €0.04.

How about something like: "Your Photo Management"?

From the nice review Gilles pointed at:
http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/manage_your_photos_with_digikam

"""The title on the digiKam website declares that it is "photo
management for the masses". That statement should tell you a lot
about the aims of this accomplished application. It is written with
photographers in mind and not just the professional."""

So it is appreciated that it is not just for Professionals ;-).
And yes, Gerhard, "for the masses" sounds a bit like
it does not have advanced features.

"DigiKam - Photo Management For Everybody"

(i.e. I second to leave out the "The" as suggested by Colin)

Another variant:
"DigiKam - Photo Management For Beginners and Professionals"
(which I don't like that much)
or
"DigiKam - Photo Management For You"

Hmm, not that easy ... ;-)

Best, Arnd
