web gallery must be created externally from digikam core using kipi-plugins 
project (based on old digikam-plugins framework coming with digikam 0.6.x 
series).

For more informations, take a look at kipi-plugins project page :

There is already 2 differents plugins in this way : 

- 'ImageGallery'  to create html 4.01 pages from image collections.
- 'GalleryExport' to export image collections to remote Gallery server.

If i have understand what you mean, you want created a new plugin to export 
image collections in XHTML 1.x page. Right ?

I have created the first one, 'ImageGallery'. I think this plugin do not be 
changed now and advanced HTML creation plugin must be implemented in new 
plugin. This plugin implementation is based on Gallery konqueror plugin and 
the code isn't really suitable (cannot use thread, cannot use XHTML, etc...). 
We must create a new one.

The second one, 'GalleryExport' have been created by Renchi Raju, and i lets 
him you explain this plugin.

Note: I have forwarded this mail to kipi mailling-list. all kipi developers 
have registered to this ML. Please record your e-mail in (check kipi web page 
for more informations).

Best regards.
