<refsect1><title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>cheese</command> uses your webcam to take photos and videos, applies
fancy special effects and lets you share the fun with others. It was written as
part of Google's 2007 Summer of Code lead by daniel g. siegel and mentored by
Raphaël Slinckx. Under the hood, Cheese uses GStreamer to apply fancy effects
to photos and videos. With Cheese it is easy to take photos of you, your
friends, pets or whatever you want and share them with others. After the
success of the Summer of Code, the development continued and we are still
looking for people with nice ideas and patches ;)
