As far as i can say, I'm starting to study the kipi-plugins code. I talked to
some friends of mine and we're going to do that together. The first
aim we'd like to reach is to know better the code and follow bko. 
We don't pretend to be the kipi managers and we cannot release anything
to svn by now. But we'd like to help and let kipi-plugins live.

I know we can't get our knowledge on kipi now, but we hope 
to be helpful as soon as possible.

I'd like to ask you one thing though e.g. that all the kipi-plugins
decisions should be discussed here not in digikam ml, since I'm not
subscribed. 
And now a vent (i'm good at it :) )
I noticed in the past some plugins were added and presented here, but
i understood they were discussed elsewhere. I believe also this way of
working were not correct... just a vent take as it is.
