One shouldn't necessarily write off the value of GSOC projects. For example, on-canvas text editing resulted from a GSOC project. The key to a useful project, I believe, is to have a limited and well-defined objective that does not require a deep understanding of major parts of the GIMP code base.

Hi! For the record, our would-be intern had a job proposal, and therefore had to cancel his GSoC proposition. He even asked me if that is OK, and obviously I told him to do what's best for him! Anyway this was quite interesting to see a bit the possibilities for GSoC. Maybe next year, we'll try

Is it possible to task the student(s) with getting more GEGL integration? GIMP really needs that to speed up image processing and previews. I mean like REALLY REALLY needs that more than just about any new toys they can dream up. :) My 2p. -C On Mon, Mar 5, 2018 at 11:32 PM, Alexandre
