This is what Inkscape guys do. They have a roadmap based on a rough estimation, what features might be released in what version, and they manage to work within it, implementing some planned features sooner than "planned" and some - later. Their users just got used to having a new release every ~6 months, so they don't bother much about particular features not being implemented in a particular new version, because they are more or less sure that it won't take ages to see it done. Even now, when the 0.46 is about 5 months off the usual "schedule", noone is crying out loud. So yes - something in these lines could work. Roadmaps are positive - people see that what they need is planned to be addressed. And we need positive users, don't we? ;-) Alexandre _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
