Hmm, Marcel pointed to important thing: kipi-plugins are out of the
question (*) but there are few other things which would not touch kipi
code:

- write extensive Kross backend and do things with that
- networked multiuser database backend: without hooks directly into
  digiKam code would be hard but not impossible. Smart programmer could
  find few ways to do it, I am sure.

(*) KDE policy is that libraries should be LGPL'ed just to make such
things possible.
