Hi Sriram& Adam,
My thinking is that #1175 "support color profiles" is probably too
large for a GSoC project, mostly because color management isn't a
problem that Shotwell solves alone. What's more, many of the
components with which Shotwell would interact to facilitate color
management are in flux themselves. See for example, Richard Hughes
excellent blog post from March 16
(http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2011/03/16/lgm-2011-making-color-management-just-work-using-colord/)
where he describes the architecture of the GNOME color management
system. To get color management to work, Shotwell would have to
interact with the GCM session manager via DBus, etc., and many of
these components are rapidly evolving themselves. Just my two cents.

Lucas
OK - it looks like color management may be trickier than I thought, and
so I've taken it off the suggested ideas list.
Once again, that list is not exclusive - if you're particularly
interested in any Shotwell improvement then feel free to propose it.
Looking forward to hearing from more potential summer of code students -
adam
