[digiKam-users] GSOC 2017 Project 4 : digiKam Face Management improvements added to DK6?

[NeiNei]

Dear Gilles and Stefan,
thanks for the further clarification face management improvements (AI, 
deep learning).

@ Gilles: Could you estimate whether the still necessary code 
finalization and further improvement will make it in DigiKam 6 or a 
later 6.x version, so that we could use the face tagging improvements in 
production?

Thanks in advance,
NeiNei
