Hi Colin,
the thing i ask for by now is not to break things. 
I din't post anything yet because next week I'll be out for a couple of 
days and I cannot be very present because I'll have to prepare
the event. Anyway I'd like to have an rc3 in june (so stay tuned I'll be 
back with my bko reports :) ) and if the feedbacks 
(bko first of all) are good, to close the release before
the end of the Summer. After that there are a lot of devels ready
to change/break libkipi. So I believe hard changes should go there.
I'm a bit worried because of the broken gallery 1.x compatibility for
this release, if I understood correctly it is. Should we add some
other constraints in README?
