If you want to express your general disappointment that christmas hasn't happenend yet -- well, yes, from my limited perspective, it's not that long that perl6 can be distinguished from hot air. Btw, i enjoyed your talk on continuations at the very same perl workshop that Damian Conway -- sponsored by TPF -- performed his evil show. Hot air? I'd call it a breathtaking experience with immense inspirational repercussion. So if you have a word of warning regarding GIMP development, i think you have to be more specific. Seriously, i fail to see any reason why having a credited developer working full-time should not result in a huge boost for the project. regards, yahvuu _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
