Hi Frank,

It good to see new developpers interressed by kipi-plugins. One word : 
welcome...

Angelo and others developpers from this room will guide you for usual task 
todo in the project. I will resume some guide line about your current work...

I have moved the file #98279 to wish for new plugin...

I recommend you to look on KDE bugzilla at this place :

http://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?product=kipiplugins&component=Wish%20For%20New%20Plugins&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED

These are the wishes for new plugins reported by users. Like you can see, a 
lots of want export features...
