However to get the plug-in into the GIMP-1.3 tree, there are a couple of things that need to be done: - Decide if you want the plug-in to be kept and maintained in GIMP CVS. In the beginning you'd send patches but I think we could get you CVS commit access pretty soon. - Port it to GTK+-2.0 and GIMP-1.3. This task should be pretty straight-forward. - Change the code to be compliant to the GIMP coding style. A good start would be to use indent with default settings (GNU coding style). The GIMP coding style is described in the file HACKING in the GIMP source. Not all plug-ins comply to it but we don't want to accept new code that doesn't. - Change the user interface so it fits better into the look and feel of GIMP plug-ins. We can certainly help you a lot but I'd like you to stay the maintainer of the plug-in. > btw.: it still lacks automake support and stuff (meaning it has a > normal makefile ...) , but the makefile is quite straightforward so > anybody who is comfortable with automake (not me, sorry ) should be > able to do the necessary changes within a few minutes if it gets integrated into the gimp source tree, you don't need to worry about automake and autoconf. I'll write the Makefile.am for you. If you decide to maintain it separately, I'd suggest to look at the gimp-plugin-template on ftp.gimp.org. It should be easy to adapt it to your needs.
