Yes it's very sad to see a good idea die - but the project was kind of dead 
cause of the missing participation of the NON-digikam projects (maybe you 
should contact your gwenview devels and "complain"). In the whole time of the 
discussion not even ONE devel from another KDE imaging program posted his/her 
opinion here. A bad sign, though!

I guess for you it dosn't mean you loose the current kipi-plugings as this is 
OSS - nobody is puting the code into the locker. So at least the last 
kipi-plugins release can still be used for gwenview etc. But they have to 
maintain it themselve from there on.
