GIMP to participate in Google Summer of Code 2013

Hi,

We've been accepted as a mentoring organisation to participate in Google Summer of Code, an annual program that connects talented students to free software projects and provides financial support for working on various features.

If you are student willing to work on GIMP during the summer and be sponsored by Google, please have a look at the list of ideas [1] or tell us about an idea of your own.

We ask all students to be able to compile GIMP from source code by the time a project proposal is submitted. We expect students to stay in touch with us throughout the program and work in a public Git branch.

You can find out more about GSoC on its official website [2].

If that still counts: IMO we should really focus on the GEGL port (including the OpenCL port to improve performance), making useful GEGL operations available in GIMP, like the improved foreground selection tool and finish/integrate the former GSoC results. That would be better than inventing new stuff that lies for long time around in yet-to-integrate branches until luckily somebody takes pity on it. Or - in words of our roadmap -: 'But at the end of the day, it is better to have one feature 100% complete than two features 50% complete.'

I don't want to spoil the party, but let's keep our product vision and the important tasks in mind.

Kind regards,

Sven

This is precisely what the document above says :)
