Good afternoon.
Thank all developers for the great work on Gimp. Are there any plans Gimp-developers to create a project on kickstarter.com, for more rapid development of the Gimp?

Paid development was discussed and rejected several times in the past, most recently few months ago.

Nothing stops a motivated developer that is already part of the GIMP development community, or hopes to get development integrated from her or himself to seek funding through kickstarter for a specific feature. This is however not something that GIMP as a community/project itself wants to pursue or coordinate currently.

The future is already here. It's just not very evenly distributed

Prospective GIMP "patron":

I would love to finish the Nohalo/Lohalo/Lojaggy/Loblur suite of image resamplers for GEGL, but I simply can't afford to do significant pro bono work these days. (Lohalo, which in my mind would become Nohalo, is already "in", and for better or worse replaces Lanczos when using the GEGLized GIMP. Loblur would be the Lanczos "equivalent" that works for arbitrary warps.)

I'm not expecting tons of money, just enough so I don't get poorer while I do the job.

Why not support some already present (but needing improving) features?

As far as I have understand the problems related to money for dev is the risk that money could deviate some dev efforts from the main developing community defined trails.

So if someone gets money for some not crucial and not distracting improvement I do not see any risk...

Yes, that would be a more precise definition.
