Hi Saurabh

Mostly, people in open source have their own full time jobs and priorities
to be taken care of. So kindly forgive us if we are not able to respond
promptly. That being said, you can start looking at bugs.kde.org, and start
going through the bugs for kipi plugins, particularly export ones. This
will help you in understanding the structure in which they are written.
Understand the flow, inheritances, signal-slotting, how data is passed
private, etc.
