 - Had to come up with GTK, a user interface toolkit of our own. Did not expect whole desktop environments, 
like GNOME and Xfce, to become the result of that. GTK is now a self-contained project used by thousands of 
developers.
 
 - Surprisingly, got a few developers from Hollywood to write the beginnings of what became a new image 
processing engine called GEGL, now used by a few more software projects too. We still have barely scratched 
the surface of what's possible with GEGL.
 
-- Introduced Wilber, a little cute mascot who traveled the world and, admittedly, did some kinky things. 
They grow up so fast!

 - Did our best to provide a sensible workflow to users by using common user interface patterns. That gave us 
a few questionable monikers like 'Photoshop for Linux', 'free Photoshop', and 'that ugly piece of software'. 
We still can wholeheartedly agree with the latter one only!
 
 - Tried to do too many things at once with too few active developers to realistically get things done in a 
sensible timeframe. Made a lot of people think the project died while we were slaving away really. So we 
introduced some planning. It's been paying off so far.
 
-- Made more people angry with software's quirks than we'd like to. Got help on that from more passionate 
contributors than we expected to. Would need more help yet.
+- Made more people angry with software's quirks than we'd like to. Got help on that from more passionate 
contributors than we expected to. We can certainly use more help still.
 
 - Got ourselves an animation project called ZeMarmot to make a positive feedback loop involving artists and 
developers. Continue using our chat for conversation with artists, some of which put GIMP through *a lot*. 
That really helps.

 The world is definitely a different place 25 years later. Louder, noisier, more demanding. Definitely less 
safe. But also full with warmth and humanity. We've seen waves of that washing up and down the rocky shores 
of GIMP.

slaving away — in a more intelligent way these days, hopefully. But there might be cake.
