Side note regarding the Google Summer of Code: let's hope that we can
be selected in 2008. Although we do not know the reasons why other
projects were selected instead of GIMP for GSoC 2007, it seems that
most GSoC projects focus on "quick wins". It is likely that we could
improve our chances of being selected next year by working on the
following things:
- Having at least one stable GIMP release per year.
- Merging GSoC results faster in the main codebase (if appropriate)
and advertising them as new features on our web site, etc.
- Being better prepared for GSoC by focusing on a smaller set of
ideas but with better descriptions of their scope, etc.
- Making it easier for newcomers to contribute to the core. I admit
that I do not know how to do that. Maybe we could start by
providing a good overview and top-down description of how GIMP
works internally? But I don't think I would even be able to
write that myself...
