IMHO the documentation is indeed an important part, since there are often people coming here willing to help, but which get lost, or don't understand what's involved. It seems there are even gimp developers arround too who don't understand the "thing" ;-) so all this maybe explains why gegl germinates for so long. This said is not to bother the active gegl developers (I am really gratfull to them for their work), but maybe the current design is not the best? What I mean is, as it is said in the GNU recommendations : the source of a free software have to be simple, this way the more people will be able to understand it, and contribute to it. I am not a experienced programmer at all, so maybe what I'm saying is stupid I don't know... I would be intersted though to know what all the people on this list think about this. -- Best Regards The Prawn putting rockets under Goats :-) _______________________________________________ Gegl-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gegl-developer
