Hi, surely a lot of people want to help with GIMP-1.3 but don't know where to start. I'd like to point you to some places that list TODOs for GIMP-1.3. First, we have TODO.xml which is in CVS and available online at: http://developer.gimp.org/gimp-todo.html Then, there's Bugzilla which can be queried for bugs with the 1.3.x target milestone. That query at the moment gives this nice list: 68846 gimp-1.3.2 gimp_tips.*.txt is written by encoding depending 67035 Compile error against newest PDL (2.3.1) -- I have a fix 67386 RAND_FUNC, G_MAXRAND confusion 25963 Undo of "value invert" on indexed PNG is impossible 61092 yes/no questions should be WM_TRANSIENT_FOR dialogs 62988 Export and Confirm Save dialogs should be WM_TRANSIENT_FOR d 58001 PDB-Function for reassigning layers. 66921 needs gimp-*-refresh in PDB 68281 No PDB entries for Bezier Select or Intelligent Scissors 3343 [gimp-bug] export changes filename 7100 [Wish] initialize layer mask with a copy of the image 26805 PostScript colour output looks pale 51108 Hidden tool options (missing docs + should be visible in the 52849 crop info window should delay or be unobtrusive 58507 Translators should mentioned somewhere (maybe in help->about 66367 Improved animoptimize for RLE or LZW compression 68403 Panels are too big. 69773 drawing slim lines with a 1x1 brush has issues 6917 WISH: Color/Brush/Pattern/Gradient in Device Stat 18995 Sorting of file names 32498 Pointer should reflect toolsize (brush cursors showing brush 51563 "Count colors" option 55366 Filter out jitter in hand-drawn curves 61091 remember window positions within a session: use USPosition/U 66859 Plug-in init_proc functionality isn't implemented 68485 Explanation for Preferences items 5744 module load needs to do version check 6920 Support other Keys for Help (F1) 50730 Need better antialiasing 65030 make it possible to resize existing brushes 6010 Script-Fu plugins open progressbar in seperate windows 5673 Restore original keybindings 64148 Add a keyboard shortcut for generating thumbnails 52374 Some plugins lack a previewarea One project I'd particulary love to see tackled is plug-in previews. There should really be a generic preview widget that works for most filter plug-ins. This an often requested feature and it would improve user-friendliness a lot. There is some (pretty old) code that could serve as a basis for development or at least give some ideas: ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/users/amundson/gimp_plugin_preview-0.29.tar.gz We also need some artists to draw nice images for our user interface. We need new icons, we'd like a new image for the about dialog that has some space to add credits (see also bug #58507). A new splash would be nice, a more eeeky Wilber for the "Really Quit" dialog and so on... Please note that we can use real alpha-transparent images now and we should make use of this. So if you want to help out, please speak up here so we can coordinate efforts. Salut, Sven
