Side note regarding the Google Summer of Code: let's hope that we canbe selected in 2008. Although we do not know the reasons why otherprojects were selected instead of GIMP for GSoC 2007, it seems thatmost GSoC projects focus on "quick wins". It is likely that we couldimprove our chances of being selected next year by working on thefollowing things: - Having at least one stable GIMP release per year. - Merging GSoC results faster in the main codebase (if appropriate) and advertising them as new features on our web site, etc. - Being better prepared for GSoC by focusing on a smaller set of ideas but with better descriptions of their scope, etc. - Making it easier for newcomers to contribute to the core. I admit that I do not know how to do that. Maybe we could start by providing a good overview and top-down description of how GIMP works internally? But I don't think I would even be able to write that myself... -Raphaël_______________________________________________Gimp-developer mailing listGimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
