Solution #2: Hire full-time dev
Written by kdev the 17 Jan 09 at 01:04.
Canonical could hire dedicated full-time developer (probably someone in gimp team) to speed-up porting GIMP to GEGL. As one of the developers told in recent interview it's mostly just "code needs to be written". Right now it is one of the biggest show-stoppers for must-die to linux migration for thousands of users so it is definitely worth paying for.

Done? of course not. Gegl has tha capabilities but gimp is not fully integrated with gegl yet.

Look the comment of david gowers (a gimp developer) in www.meetthegimp.org

How is this an idea? If you check the GIMP - FAQ it's not there yet and they tell you that cinepaint and krita offer it. It is in the future plans.

If you want future plans for GIMP to happen sooner then go here http://www.gimp.org/donating/

Someone marked this as implemented. If it is in fact implemented, please leave a comment showing that it is in fact implemented (a link would be very helpful).
