Great - contributors are always welcome!
The KDE/Qt side is not really difficult
as the documentation is very good (and Gilles is
always very helpful to explain the code!).

Concerning the batch tools I just talked with Gilles on the IRC:
They will be rewritten for KDE4 and he has some plans in
his mind, about which he will talk during the upcoming
coding sprint (http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/374)
The main point is that a new batch queue manager
needs to be done through libkipi.

Because of this the batch tools are not yet ported to KDE4.

But of course, others tools can be ported as well,
like gpod export for ex, or calendar
A list of unported tools is here :

If any of these is of interest to you, let us know,
and we can provide you with some information on how to port the stuff
to Qt4/KDE4.

Looking forward to your contributions!

Best, Arnd
