Having been working on Gwenview for six years, I finally came up with the decision that it was time to move on.
It has been a tough decision, but I realize I don't have enough free time to manage such a project by myself anymore. If you want to know more, have a look at the message I posted to the mailing list.
Of course, I do not want Gwenview to die, that's why I'm looking for a maintainer. If you are interested, please contact me.

Thank you!
Bad to hear that, but I can understand you pretty well.
In any case: Thank you for the time you've spend on gwenview, for providing this application!
Too bad!
Hi Aurelien,
It's a shame you feel like that. I know about the overhead in such a project (making releases, maintaining a website, merging patches). I hope Gwenview continues to shine!
agreed
yeah, gwenview is cool. it wouldn't want to miss it, it's THE picture viewer for embedding in konqi. most others don't really shine...

It is by far the best tool to view and browse pictures under Linux. I hope you will find an energetic new maintainer!
