There is not really a web page about, excepted a link in digiKam.org :

http://www.digikam.org/sharedlibs

And KDE project page :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/libs/libkface/

Both are not really suitable for a more important documentation, i think.

But look here :

http://api.kde.org/extragear-api/libs-apidocs/libkface/libkface/html/index.html

It's the API doc population from source code. Why not to write a more
documented Doxygen main page for libkface. It's in git/master :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/libs/libkface/repository/revisions/master/entry/libkface/Mainpage.dox

What do you think about ?
