It's true that $1k isn't generally considered a lot of money in funding a software project, but I appreciate getting anything. Linux Fund was very kind to give me a grant. None of the grant is going toward beer, by the way. It is for Film Gimp GUI enhancements and a keyboard/mouse macro recorder/player. You've piqued my curiosity. How large is GIMP's development budget? How is it funded?
