I don't know C++ but I am getting into Python. I suppose that I could
modify an existing plugin without knowing C++ specifically. I did not
realize that individual plugins could be compiled separately, and I do
_not_ want to patch Kipi.

When is the planned custom command for FTP expected to hit production?

Thanks!
