Quaternions are arguably an appropriate choice for representing object rotations internally. They are simple and efficient to interpolate and represent a single orientation unambiguously.

I'm working on a project constructing an online collaboration tool. Looking at Wikipedia, I noticed that user-generated itterations of a page can easily be compared to each other; the comparison highlights the differences.

I'm making a simple Qt application. It has 4 screens/pages: Start import Select folder to import images to Accept or reject each image in folder, and when no images left: "No images left" and an OK button.
