Hi, I have read through the list at http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/SummerOfCode and I think we need to triage the list and try to come up with fewer but more detailed proposals. Here are some comments to get us started: Color management I guess it's up to me to come up with a more detailed proposal

I suggest to read the book Beginning Gimp written by Akkana Peck. Data structures aren't cleared automatically. You have to clear them yourself. Otherwise you have random garbage in your picture. This can happen but it mustn't happen always. On Tuesday 06 March 2007 18:16, Luis A. Florit
