+ gphoto2
+ -------
+
+Hello and welcome to the wonderful world of gphoto! This is gphoto2, the
+successor of gphoto with lots of new features and additional camera
+drivers.
+
+If you miss a feature, would like to report success or failure, or have any
+questions, please don't hesitate to contact our mailing list.
+
+
+
+What is gphoto2?
+----------------
+
+gphoto2 is a library that can be used by applications to access various
+digital cameras.
+
+Additionally, the command-line frontend, which is shipped with the library,
+is called gphoto2, too.
+
+For more information on gphoto, see
+
+ http://www.gphoto.org
+
+There, you can also get information on mailing lists, supported cameras,
+and availability of gphoto2. Another source of information is
+
+ http://www.sourceforge.org/projects/gphoto
+
+where you can access our CVS server to fetch the source code of libgpio,
+gphoto2, gtkam and GnoCam (see below).
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+gphoto2 depends on libgpio which is distributed separately.
+
+Platforms
+---------
+
+gphoto2 should compile and run on pretty much all Unix-like platforms.
+Additionally, there is a port for OS/2 available. gphoto2 has _not_ (yet?)
+been ported to any operating system from MicroSoft.
+
+Frontends
+---------
+
+gphoto2 ships with a command line frontend which is quite powerful,
+especially in combination with scripts. For the GUI lovers, there are for
+example gtkam (GTK based), and GnoCam (GNOME). Additionally, there
+are plugins for other programs available like kio_gphoto (KDE - Konqueror).

-- Fix the camera settings problem: Leave the gp_frontend_prompt for smaller
- configuration problems (i.e. right before taking a picture), but add
- * typedef int (*CameraApply) (Camera*, CameraWidget*)
- * gp_camera_settings_get (Camera *camera, CameraWidget *window,
- CameraApply apply)
- * gp_camera_settings_set (Camera *camera, CameraWidget *window)

-- Make 'make distcheck' to work.

- Define the way capturing images/videos/previews work. IMHO, it should be
* image/video: Capture image/video, store it on memory card. That's it.
* preview: Capture preview, don't store it anywhere but return it
