OK, had a look at the PACKAGING file. I think I can process the steps 
described there (thanks to Toma for the detailed "walkthrough").

When it helps the team, e.g. giving Toma more time to coding I will do the 
packaging. Let's talk about the time frame. I have enough time this week to 
do this I'd say. Only problem might be that my Inet connection will get some 
maintainance periods this week and I hope the guys do not make to much 
problems.

I would say I use the week days to make myself familar with SVN and target the 
upload of the tarball for internal testing on friday, So maybe we can have a 
RC1 on monday. Is this OK? Your comments please.

I need SVN (write) access til thursday or something I think - it would be nice 
if someone could guide me a little in this subject.

For sure I will post a question on how to get digikam working from 
inside /home (parallel install to stable gentoo ebuild in /usr). I always 
failed at this point cause digikam couldn't recognize my KDE install. I have 
to adjust my path somehow.

A yes, for the testing: should the testing of my image-plugins tarball be done 
against digikam(core)-0.8.1 release or against 0.8.x Branch from SVN (fresh 
checkout)?

Enough questions for the moment ;-)
