Please, checkout current code from svn trunk, and look how facebook or
smug plugin work. flickr is more complex because it provide more
options.

Take a care about actions to provide : upload from computer to web
service, and download from web service to computer. Some plugins has
both options, some others have only the firts one.

We have planed to factorize all web service tools to a common api for
gui, but it's not yet done. Luka Renko, in this room working on.

Jens Muller has recently refactored Picasaweb plugin code to use the
same gui than other web service tool, but code still located in
plugin. Nothing is shared at a comon place (typically in
libkipiplugins)

I recommend you to make a copy of an existing one, and to apply fix to
support this new web service.

Also, to maintain code in svn, i recommend to ask an account as KDE
developer. It's better.

Let's me hear if you need more info.

Best

Gilles Caulier
