Form your workflow, you seem to have pretty specific needs. Among other 
things, it looks like you need a multi-user DAM, which Digikam isn't.

Also, a somewhat less aggressive stance might get you more help and interest. 
Acting as if the lack of one specific feature you need makes dk a toy *isn't* 
going to help. Fyi, I know there are users of dk that started with LR...

So, unless you are willing to discuss your needs in a constructive way, I'm 
out of the discussion. A good start might be the name(s) of one or more DAMs 
that do all what you want from them. And no, LR doesn't fit the bill, wrt. the 
compilation metadata.

P.S. Did you notice how active the people involved in DK development have been 
in this thread?
