Even if it is too late for it to be included in the next major release of the GIMP, you can always make your plug-in available via a web site and then get your plug-in listed in the plug-ins section of gimp.org.

Hi, david rohde [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I am currently writing a new plugin, which I hope if there is intrest in it could be included in to standard gimp distributions.

Should I have users before I ask you guys to look at it. It's definitely too late to get it included into gimp-1.2. We can consider it for the 1.3.x development series, but I think we should think about a new system to distribute plug-ins anyway. Including more and more plug-ins with the standard gimp distribution does not make much sense and slows down development considerably. I'll come back to this issue in the "Future of The GIMP" document I'm preparing with Mitch right now. Salut, Sven

I am currently writing a new plugin, which I hope if there is intrest in it could be included in to standard gimp distributions. I understand that the gimp is frozen at the moment, but if anyone could tell me the process required for a new plugin to be considered for the gimp. Should I have users before I ask you guys to look at it. Also the plugin uses a fairly uncommon library allegro. I am looking at making the plugin allegro independant, however the resulting plugin may end up being a quite large plugin when complete. The plugin I am writing is an aid for creating seamless tile maps. Basicly a tile editor. It uses allegro primarily because I have used a file format derived from the allegro dat format. Any help on these points would be appreciated Also if you rather i did not post to this list, please direct me elsewhere. Thankyou David Rohde
Re: new plugin
Hi David, Good idea! As for the use of Allegro, isn't Allegro under the GPL? If so, (and I assume your plugin will be GPLled as well) you could just rip out the loading and saving code and paste it into your plugin. That way things are Allegro-independent and if you don't copy the parts of Allegro you don't need it shouldn't be that big (at least not due to the inclusion of parts of Allegro, I can see that this is quite a big project).
