[Kde-imaging] RFC: next kipi & co. generation

[Angelo Naselli]

Hi guys,
vacations are finished, at least mine :)
and we should start talking about next releases. 
Gilles has done a lot of working and  
looks forward having a lot of bugs to fix ;)
I won't be very present until next 28th October because
Mandriva 2007 is near to be released and here in Italy
we'll have the Linux Day event to prepare - not to say
the time for my real job :).
Anyway trying to do the point of the situation,
what is the state of the art of the new libkipi?
All the reworking has been done? 
Which is the compatibility with all the host applications?
I mean if they need to be rebuilt, we should think that libkipi 
should increase the version to 0.2.0 but maybe we should anyway.

Moreover to test new kipi-plugins we have to decide if to have
a cycle like the old one - well not so long though ;) -
e.g. betaX and rcX or reduce it. IMO we can have 0.1.9x 
- x from 1 to 3 should be enough but we can go to 9 and in the worst
case adding 0.2.0 rcX :) -

ASAP I'll try to have a look through bko again and understand if 
we have a lot to fix or not.

Which is the point of the plugins about dialogs? did new maintainers
add their names?

I'd like to rework some plugin guis (mpeg and cd/DVD as i told a lot 
of time), but it's a static project by now, something done, but very little. 
Maybe once we decide some date i can move up myself in doing that :)

Ok, I wanted to tell some few words and I write a poem so...
my best regards,
	Angelo
