[Digikam-devel] Exiv2 feature requests - looking for developers

[Andreas Huggel]

Added both, this and the APP1 requirement to the bug tracking system. The list 
of requested features for Exiv2 is growing :)

Waiting for volunteers... There are now a few good candidates for someone new 
to Exiv2. Have a look at the page above and let me know if you're interested, 
I'll be happy to provide guidance.

Regards,
Andreas
