I just wanted to spread the word about freedomsponsors.org in that regard:
http://freedomsponsors.org/core/issue/?s=&project_id=130&project_name=GIMP http://freedomsponsors.org/core/issue/?s=&project_id=125&project_name=GEGL+%28the+new+GIMP+engine%29

There are users who have put bounties on several bugs and features - I think it is a great way for gimp users to show their support for the voluntary team. The best thing is that anyone who wants to do so can easily sign up for a bug and do the necessary work to receive the bounties (provided the solution lives up to people's requirements).

You can also propose to work on a bug/feature there - and you don't really have to have an account, just sign up through Google/BitBucket/Github/twitter/yahoo.

Just thought I would share.

Regards, Bastian

As you know there is a popular request for the gimp team to do a crowdfunding effort. With the hpotetical money they could raise, they could easily get more manpower to

1.-Finish their longterm goals faster (I am looking at you gimp 2.) 2.-Implement the changes they want
3.-Implement new improvements and feautures we want.

If "hypotethically" the gimp team accepted a kickstarter/crowdfunding effort, wich feautres would you want the most.

Pleas post area and idea

example

Painting/ More brush dynamics and control. Photography/antiblur tool (I just made that up)

The goal is to give the gimp team an idea of what they could focus on provided they ever accept crowdfunding as on one email I sent them there was the issue on deciding wich features to focus on.

Have fun!
