I should have missed it, i'll check at home where i have some backups.

I believe the problem is that the real kipi-plugins managers are (or were)
digikam developers, and they all (or almost) agree that they don't
want to do all, or at least more.

Here I am, i have a job that in these days take me 36h per day, but when
i don't fall asleep i try to work on this project because i like it and for historical
reasons.
 
Here are some thought, in the next few days I'd like to release a kipi-plugins, 
libkipi and libkexif svn snapshot for mandriva cooker (developer version of
Mandriva, e.g. next mdv 2007). To do that I had a look at the scripts Tom had
released in svn (thanks they're great, i changed them to use anonsvn and to 
release a -svn`date +%Y%m&d` package. 
So i believe I can do that to help next official release, leaving to some more
karma kde people the bureaucracy of freezing and announcing the release.

Anyway my dream is to have a rc2 about April in the middle, and a great dream
to have 1.0 in June. 
dev: Do you think we can reach it? I'm going (and already doing it) to follow
bko and try to recall bugs to the (not very official) maintainers. There are about
100 bugs, but the most are wishes... so we can work on them after 1.0.

Let me hear I'm not alone to think that :)
