i find it interesting that Gnome Foundation handle gimp money.

as far as the odds are, so far, i have no idea what they do to handle
the money.  how much is there, what is planned with it, how it got
there.  probably the real scary part of this paragraph of yours is "What
are the odds "

the only thing i know about the gimp money is that Tim Ney gets a
certain percentage of it.  how is that for odds?

In time, I am in no way  complaining of what Jay, Sven, Mitch, Bill
and others are doing...sometimes I am just amazed with the changes
that go overnight on CVS. It is just that there seens to be more work
than can be done in the spare time of anyone. Even Sven's excellent
plan to categorize gradients, paletts, fonts and brushes seens to be
in limbo.
I'd like to echo the above sentiments. As a bit of a list newbie I fear 
I've come in sounding like I'm doing a lot of complaining, and I hope 
my comments haven't sounded TOO much that way :). As things are, my 
technical contributions are limited due to finding hacking out code to 
be a stressor, but drawing & playing with pixels a major relaxation - 
but that's just me, and I figure I can contribute some with information 
as an end user.
