Status of XMP support

[Magnus Ottosson <magnus grand1982 com>]

Hi all,

We are a group of senior students at the software engineering and 
management program at the IT-university in Göteborg, Sweden. A large 
part of our education is centered around software development projects. 
This term the focus of the project is to take an existing application 
and either change its architecture or extend it.

We were wondering about the current state of XMP support in f-spot. Our 
idea is to complement the internal sqllite meta-data storage with XMP 
meta-data storage in the images. The purpose of this would be to allow 
several users accessing the same images and at the same time sharing the 
meta-data through the image XMP information.

We haven't yet done any in-depth feasibility study, so at the moment we 
are interested in an early opinion about the state of XMP.

We have seen this page that gives a very brief description about what 
seems to be already planned for f-spot:
