Yes, i see it. I'm registered to commit filter :

http://commitfilter.kde.org/

Like this i see all commit done by all contributors through email.

You can sync (you must) this branch with master changes to have your
branch updated in time.

Later, when your code branch will be hacked, we will sync back from
your branch to master. The goal is do it before 4.0.0 beta 2.

Yes, sure.

No need if code changes are not too intrusive and quickly testable. In
general, making patch attached to relevant bugzilla entry is enough. I
don't like reviewboard. This require to manage too tools, where only
one is enough to control bug fixes : bugzilla.

First check if bugzilla do not contain an entry about this problem. If
i remember, ther is something about. In bugzilla all digiKam project
is divided in sub section. There is one about BQM. If there is no
entry about, create new one, and attach a patch as well. No need
reviewboard (forget this tool)

Let's open this entry for the moment, we will close it when you code
will be tested and merged back from branch to master.

For this week end, i'm with my familly. I go back at home monday
evening. I will review all your new branch and code tuesday evening.
Don't forget that i'm in stop disease for few month due to my car
crash and i will have a lots of free time to play with code (:=)))
