[ptx] An introduction

[Tijmen]

Hello, I wanted to introduce myself to this mailinglist.

I am Tijmen (aka IIVQ) and I live in Belgium (but I am and speak Dutch)

I use linux as my computing platform together with an canon ixus 430 and 
sometimes a asahii pentax spotmatic s.

Doing a web search on panoramic tools for linux I found hints everywhere that 
the combination of hugin, emblend and autopano(-sift) is the rumour 
everyone's heard about to be good, so I installed the first two.

I am very satisfied with the results, but a little less satisfied with the 
program of hugin itself: A lot of the more technical interface elements 
themselves are abacadabra to the beginner, and it crashed continuously.

I have now found out that hugin is more of a ill-tamed wild animal: no one 
exactly knows when he'll get mad, but if we scratch the back of his ears and 
stay clear of his tail, he'll behave and will usually help us with it great 
powers!

That being said, I am willing to help in developing the GUI and program. I 
don't know anything about C but am fairly good in Java and I have had (and 
passed with good result) some HCI courses in my study of Knowledge 
Engeneering.

I have one question: Is this a general "tools for making panorama's" list, or 
does it specify on hugin, autopano and emblend (or other tools as well)?
