I had a short look about kivio bugs but most bugs there about 1.6 has code 
wise not much in common with kivio 2.x. I'm sure once you have kivio from 
trunk running that you will find bugs when using it. You can then either try to 
find out alone on where to problem is or ask to get pointer on how the bugs can 
be fixed. 
But as it seems you are very keen to work on getting import/export ready you 
can also work on that. Note that changes going there should be done in the 
branch as trunk is frozen and only bug fixing is allowed at the moment. 
Filters work in converting the file format you like to read to odf. Which then 
will be loaded into kivio. If you have any questions about odf feel free to 
ask.
