GIMP developer looking for funding
For anyone who is interested in funding Professional quality OSS graphics software that meets the requirements of current standards and expectations I strongly suggest to donated to the Krita, Natron or Blender project instead of Gimp.<p>The Gimp project has been quite abrasive to the graphics research and software development communities for many years. The Gimp team &#x27;knows better&#x27; then the highly qualified and experienced graphics programmers who offered to help the project bring there code base into the current standards for graphics.<p>There has been a lot of goodwill that has been squandered by the Gimp developers to the point that I seriously doubt that anyone with the skills or the time to work on OSS graphics is willing to invest any time in the project.<p>Any further development of Gimp will more then likely be an upgrade to the latest version of the GTK+ toolkit slapped on top of the same outdated 8bit early 1990&#x27;s architecture fallowed by praise by people who have little experience or interest in graphics at any serious level.
