Hi,
I knew kipi/kipi-plugins using gwenview. I'm not main developer
either gwenview or kipi. I'm the Mandriva packager and maintainer of this 
project (gwenview as well).
I use a digital camera since last Christmas so i've never had known kipi (as
digikam) but thanks to gwenview.
As packager and maintainer but also as user i like very much
the availability of sharing the same plugins, same structures and
same commands in my kde environment.

I'm sorry Renchi does not develop any more. But i believe this
project should go on. I hope (well I'd expect to) other graphics
applications go on in developing and helping.

As far as I'm concerned I'll always follow this project - bugzilla,
little bug fixing when I'm able to, and packaging- since it
*remains* a single project. I'm not the digikam Mandirva maintainer,
even if sometimes i help in, and going back would mean i could leave....

Regards,
    Angelo
