I think release 1.0 has been a big success!

After the release on 2011-02-20, I posted an update to the Ubuntu Forums
thread <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1527375> with no
response. Later however the OMG! Ubuntu! article posted on 2011-02-22
really got the ball rolling:

As of 2011-02-24, Photostory has:
  *  1300 Downloads (total)
  *   400 Downloads (version 1.0)
  *    18 Comments on OMG! Ubuntu!
  *    16 Tweets according to OMG! Ubuntu!

400 downloads in two days; that's about half the downloads Photostory
0.9 had in it's lifetime, in two days. As I'm sure you are aware
however, there have been a few bugs reported, although I'm not sure if
this is due to a regression or simply a sudden influx of bug reporters.

Since the release of Photostory 1.0 I've had some spare time on my hands
so I've been learning PyGTK. I thought it would be an educational
experience to rewrite the interface for Photostory so went ahead and did
it. I don't expect you to actually use it (it only has preview and
delete functionality anyway), but perhaps the code, or parts of the code
can be helpful. <lp:~joshbrown/photostory/rewrite>
