Hi Boudewijn, how are you (:=)))...

Sure, in the future, we need to improve krita/digiKam interoperability. I 
adding this task in my TODO list, because i had any other stuff to do 
before...

But, there is one point that we can talking now : a common ICC profiles 
repository between krita and digiKam.

Like you have see certainly, digiKam now support ICC profiles to render image 
in editor (printing coming soon). We have started a repository of digital 
still camera profiles at this url :

http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/ICCPROFILES/

In kde svn, krita provide any common ICC profiles :

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/koffice/krita/data/profiles/

Questions :

1 / Perhaps we can merge these places ?
2 / Are you sure that includes ICC profiles in svn is the better place ?
3 / ICC profiles are (c). Are you sure that you can includes by default krita 
profiles with koffice packages without any problems with commercial 
compagnies ? (This is why digiKam team have copied ICC camera profiles in a 
simple web space, not svn)

Any viewpoints/suggestions welcome
