Please try rephrasing your question and providing more context.  As your
question stands now, it is very difficult for anyone to provide a
meaningful answer.  What do you mean by when a map is tiled?  What
kind of problems are you afraid of?  Who are the users?  Any GIMP users?
Users of a specific program?  What is this map anyway?  What are you
trying to achieve and why is it urgent?

Oh, and please, please avoid quoting the whole mailing list digest in
your message.  It seems to be totally unrelated to your question and it
is just a waste of bandwidth.  If you ask better questions, you will
probably get better answers.

 Hi. I'm new in gimp development.
 
 few day ago, I checked gimp 2.4 rc1 source, and then I noticed the
 l10n file for korean was so terrible. it means translation was not
 apply almostly.
 
 so I contacted our tongue translator, and got an answer. it's for you. :-(
 BTW, so I fixed, reassigned, etc..
 
 now I wonder, can I apply this patch on 2.4.0?
 if I'm not late, where and what do I send?
 I worked with po file using poedit on windows XP
 
 please, give me advice

It is never too late for translations, however all translations
of GNOME SVN modules are handled by the gnome-i18n mailing
list. Please contact them, somebody there will give you the
right advice or sommit your patches.

ciao,

 Quoting Robert L Krawitz :
  The problem is that custom tables seems very confusing -- it sounds
  like the user's going to be asked to input something she knows nothing
  about.  One could argue that Use existing image quality settings [...]
 My only comment on this issue is that the term image is consistently  
 employed within the GIMP vocabulary to mean the in-memory copy of  
 the picture being edited [...]

I think that using the terms original image would avoid this problem.

We are basically left with two options:

1) Use custom quality settings
   - Hard to understand for most users
   - Technically correct description
   - No need to change the code; this is what we have now

2) Use quality settings from original image
   - Easier to understand for most users
   - Correct description for the most common usage scenario
   - Requires some small changes to the code
   - Breaks the string freeze before 2.4

It seems that going for (2) would be better for the users but would
annoy some translators.  But I got several requests to go for something
like option (2), so I would like to know if it is worth breaking the
string freeze.  Opinions?

P.S.: please do not mention bikesheds.

 There was a 2006 Google Summer of Code project for this. If it had been

 different instead).
 
 Maybe the same project can be proposed for the 2008 GSOC?

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
