Thanks a ton! :) I think we'll still need more technical info, but
that's probably for another page.

The matrix also has to be enhanced, but I'll take care of that in a while.

I really have no special opinion on that. I am, however, concerned
about "People can propose patch for the spec without need to have an

as far as I can tell, the only reason we have user registration by
request at wiki.gimp.org and gui.gimp.org.
