Not all is listed here of course. I plan to do another review on
dot.kde.org later, when 0.10.0-beta1 will be published.

Here there are few digiKam 0.10.0 screenshots :

well, i never compile KDE4 (:=))) I have no more free time to do it...
Under Mandriva 2008.0, all devellopement packages are available. I

To compile digiKam for KDE4, follow this page :

http://www.digikam.org/?q=download/svn

... at the bottom. Unforget to read the README file for more details
about all depencies. Let's me hear if more comments are need...
