1) Alexandrine is a girl's name. I do genuinely believe that I'm a
boy. I'd even push my luck and go as far as "man" :)
2) I don't think I ever suggested to choose between Jan's project and
the semi-successful GSoC SIOX project. None of them can be accepted in
their present form.

Well, we are aiming to replace as much of the legacy code with GEGL
based code as possible. If we can make better tools while at that, I'd
hazard a guess that this project would be important.

I dare say you implemented far more operations :)
