And it will be extremely difficult to find a company who is willing to hire a developer and to let him/her work on GIMP full time. How about working full time for a short period. Could it be integrated with this years google summer of code. if you don't gets as many places as you would like, then the community sponsor an extra place. Or if a student completes their task, but the is still room for extension, then the community sponsors keeping them on for another n months. I think this is a good idea and am willing to help with the fund raising.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Secure logging of GIMP actions
Thank you all for your input! My conclusion: It is possible and not very complex. Depending on the amount of security and comfort we are talking about 4 or 5 digit € for a programmer to get this feature. I'll forward this and they can put that on the table. And if they manage to kick PS out, there will be some funding available and I'll come back.

They are only there for solving possible disputes about the amount of editing. So for your so-called superiors to spy on the lower planes of employed graphics designers? Or am I totally misunderstanding the weird between-the-lines tone in your sentences? Complete misunderstanding. They want to be able to prove what has been done to the image in the processing. As in: Is this scratch really on the object and has been revealed from the raw photo with a contrast enhancement or has it been inserted with the clone tool?. Usually these disputes don't come up and so the logs don't have to be reader friendly. Some crypto signature would be even nicer. No checking of job performance or such nasty stuff. There are some guys who want to get GIMP instead of PS used in their organisation. They have a lot of opposition (the usual crowd: Fanboys, marketing, No Price - No Quality and I don't want to learn new stuff) and are looking for stuff that would be a technical advantage over PS. PS can log, but you can switch the logging off without trace during editing while you clone in something. There is a lot of internal politics at stake and so I can't be more specific about the people behind this. Nothing to do with me personally or my job as a teacher, they contacted me as the host of Meet the GIMP and wrongly assumed I would know such stuff.

Of course. http://www.ingimp.org/ they have to skip a lot of user actions, interestingly for privacy reasons.

Might help to talk to their devel team and see how they handled the legal details. I am using the name GIMP and the image of Wilber in my podcast Meet the GIMP at http://meetthegimp.org.
