digiKam 6.0.0 and web services

[Markus Leuthold]

Hi Gilles

This functionality is currently available via Kipi plugins. What does that
mean for the future of these plugins? Do you intend to abandon the Kipi
interface(which would be a pity)? I'd like to know your plans since I added
some (not yet published) functionality to the Smugmug export plugin (export
tags)

best, Markus
