+This is Geeqie, a successor of GQview.
+
+Geeqie has been forked from GQview project, because it was not 
+possible to contact gqview author and the only maintainer. 
+Geeqie projects goal is to move the development forward and 
+also integrate the existing patches.
+
+Geeqie is currently in alpha state. Everybody is encouraged 
+to try the new features, however for stable software look at 
+the original project.
+
+For more info see:
