If they saw any money making potential in it, they presumably would? None of the commercial Linux companies which one would assume have very skilled market analysts etc that can do research to find out what is worth doing has seen much business in funding work on GIMP or Inkscape to the extent of actually hiring developers so far. The closest thing, I guess, is that f-spot is being developed by a paid employee. Plus, OpenOffice.org has lots of paid developers, and it includes some rudimentary graphic capabilities. This should tell you something. Not sure what;) --tml _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
