Hi, we kinda talked about face detection&recognition with Ruben Vermeersch in past, we agreed that this is definitely something that F-Spot is missing and I personally think that there are not much excuses for not doing it right. I can give a little bit of my time to put the face detection code there either using libface, EmguCV or OpenCV via P/Invokes, but can't really afford to do all that UI stuff (namely region tagging in general, face tagging in specific; search, highlights, etc.). Also, F-Spot had a very bad development tree to my taste when we talked about this, I hope with the last release MonoDevelop can be used to write code, compile and debug, then we could talk. Oh, I don't mean to pretend to be neither "the one" nor "the only one" to do face detection/recognition, after all I'm not an expert on the subject, but just did some detection in the past; so anyone is free to contribute and hack on this stuff. Let me know.
