This is a tracking bug for the new Sync Plugin

This plugin will provide a general interface for
Synchronising the images in Kipi Host applications to other
systems

It will implement a generic framework for defining
"Sinks" (where the Kipi Host application is the
"Source"). It is a design goal that new Sinks are
relatively easy to implement.

Some additional features are required in the Kipi API to
make this work and some additional features are needed in
Kipi Host applications (reflected in the API changes) e.g.
the ability to store key/value preferences for kipi plugins
against collections and individual images/items. 

It is planned that this plugin will eventually include Sinks
to deprecate the following existing plugins:
 * galleryexport
 * flickrexport
 * ipodexport

It is also intended to implement Sinks for the following
services:
 * picassaweb
 * Generic KIO
 * Wikipedia Commons Interface
 * ???

It is intended that Sinks in some capacity will mimic a
subset of the KIPI API. This design principle could
eventually mean that a bridging application will allow use
of some Kipi Plugins directly on images stored in a Sink
target - e.g. it should be possible to run a slideshow on
your Flickr images.
