What not ask Google and Ubuntu folks for a few full time programmers to work on the GIMP? Google is so innovated they would probably be glad to help....

The point is Google programmers could help put 2.8 stable out faster. Clean up code, Someone to work full time on the project.

I believe google has sponsored some students in the Google Summer of Code for GIMP.

Not full time, but a contribution nonetheless.

My point is Google has a hired staff to put engineers on Gimp full time. The developers are good people buy do not have the resources to work on Gimp full time. I understand that. Google will get the 16-bit per channel and other features up to snuff.

Google will "not dictate" the direction of Gimp. They will only help with what the developers want.

Google already has full time engineers working on Ubuntu and Libreoffice and tons of other open source projects.

That sounds a bit like wishful thinking :)
