Most of the short-coming he is pointing out are things we are well aware of, and that the existing developers have invested copious amounts of our time towards fulfilling. We are well on the way towards having addressed quite a few of them, the post and many of the commenters are perpetuating opinions and attitudes that might cause even fewer people contributing; and existing volunteers of open source software to stop bother volunteering their time and knowledge towards creating tools for users without sense of neither tact nor gratiude. I am not at all amused. The only sane response to the shit storm he has caused is to be responsive and friendly towards people who seriously do contribute to GEGL and GIMPs future, on bugzilla, mailinglists and irc. /Øyvind K. -- «The future is already here.
