Forgive me for the presumption but may I suggest something? instead of loweringexpectations in advance, perhaps you could do something else: use the publicityas an opportunity for attracting new developers. If you do provide some visionand a roadmap for the steps ahead, and tell the magazine about the edffort toswitch to GEGL (which should bring all sorts of goodies to GIMP) perhaps thepeople reading the magazine (I assume the readership is skewed towardsprogrammers, this being a magazine about open source) will be inspired to jointhe GIMP team and help. _______________________________________________Gimp-developer mailing listGimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
