Ruben Vermeersch answers about: Is F-Spot Live and kicking?
Yes it is

There are several real interesting things going on:
* Mike Gemünde is currently cleaning and refactoring quite a lot of IconView code
* Geotagging is coming (Mike Gemünde is working on it too)
* Paul Wellner Bou is working on a nice extension to compare different image versions
* Lorenzo Milesi is working on export support to tabblo and taking care of bugzilla
* Ruben Vermeersch himself working on prototyping some stuff related to progressive image loading and preloading. He is also looking into RAW processing

Since 0.5.0 the performance is much improved. At all i like the concept of this app and the new upcoming features are quite cool
