We need to focus on fixing the worst of the bugs in 2.0.0. Hopefully this will help us avoid the 'lets break everything and work on new features' mania. :) > - Do a 2.2 release in about three months.

This will give us enough time to fix the outstanding bug reports and we will have time at GIMPCon2004 to discuss a road map for 2.4. Sincerely, Brix -- Henrik Brix Andersen <brix@xxxxxxxx>
