GIMP's Next-generation Imaging Core Demonstrated
brendan0powers writes "GIMP developer Øvind Kolås gave a public demonstration of the Generic Graphical Library (GEGL) on Friday at the Piksel 06 festival in Bergen, Norway. GEGL has long been slated to replace the core image processing framework of the GIMP, bringing with it entirely new data models and operations — but development had languished to the point where many critics had written the project off entirely." Linux.com and Slashdot are both part of OSTG.
Have more than one toolbar, what's hard about that? People who are doing drawing tasks will use the drawing toolbar. People who are not will never see it. The problem here is not that the developers are pig headed. The problem is that they have control over the source code repository and can lock developers who are interested in doing this kind of stuff out of it. If developers were free to add whatever they want to GIMP and push that out to the current GIMP users with everything else, you'd see how many people want these features. But the poltical baggage of forking of project forces developers to tow the line.
How we know is more important than what we know.
Sometime in the future The Gimp developers will cave in and add a circle tool and you will hear a collective sigh of relief. When that happens, I hope you remember this discussion. Now fuck off.

PHP. It was created by web developers for web developers, and it's a horrible language if you care about writing robust code.
