The questions seems too broadly asked.

Same as this one.

3. what are the general principles of this software?

And this one.

4. myths that have been laid about this software?

Quite a few. How many do you need? How detailed should be info why it's a myth (e.g. how many sentences)?

5. types of considerations that arose when all development begins?

I don't understand this question at all.

Hi Ricardo,

the first guideline in developing GIMP or almost any other open/free software is to attempt to find answers and solutions yourself. Especially so when the solutions are openly/freely available. ;) With that in mind, you can find most of the answers to your questions if you go to GIMP's website and read. Especially from "get involved" and "development" sections. Also, reading this mailing list can give you some good indications about the development considerations.

Get familiar with the project. Do it at your own pace. Think of it as a form of apprenticeship. :)

By the way, How did you decide to focus on GIMP?

Cheers

That it was a free Photoshop clone. It's not, but a software of its own, see [1].

Kind regards,
