[Gimp-user] help needed with menu tooltips
Hi, just wanted to point the people subscribed here to this thread over at the gimp-developer list: http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/gimp-developer/2006-March/015323.html Since not much coding skills (if any) are needed to be able to help with this, I thought it would be appropriate to include the gimp-user list.

So I look forward to more facilities in support of DTP including CMYK output and CMYK visibility onscreen, even if the actual work is done in RGB. In this context PostScript and evenually PDF output is part of the puzzle too. I use TeX and pdftex won't take a TIFF file as input. Apparently there are too many variants. In the meantime I will try to locate the PostScript output code (again) and try to clean it up a bit, as we discussed many moons ago.

I have been pushing the introduction of color management using ICC profiles for quite a while. The need for other color models and high color depths has been acknowledged years ago when we decided that we need to redesign the GIMP core to be able to handle all this. I have been supporting anyone who has expressed his/her interest to work on the GIMP code. Sorry, but we haven't been downplaying. We are simply only a handful of developers who happen to have a full-time job, a real life and only a limited amount of time that we cannot put into improving GIMP. I would love to be able to work on more drastic changes, but currently my time is pretty much eaten by maintaining the current code, dealing with bug reports, applying patches, helping occasional contributors and sometimes even writing some code that will hopefully bring us closer to the long-awaited 2.4 release. If we want to improve GIMP, we need to stop beating each other over each others heads and instead start to work together, attract more developers and do the changes that we all know are very much needed.
