Re: [Gimp-developer] hesitant about compiling a list...

Hi Peter,

my opinion is 'the clearer the better'.
Such a list could IMHO improve GIMPs product quality.
Even if it will be a long list (and it will be growing, as user 
requirements and wishes always become more) this will show the necessity 
to priorize.
I'm not (or not yet) a GIMP developer, but speaking as a software 
developer I know of the benefits of priorization. Of course, this 
priorization must be done together with the developers. The GIMP team 
could then define mandatorily, what will become realized at all or in 
the next version - which could make it easier to define release plans.
The product vision is the big picture, but it needs refinement and this 
list would fill this hole.
I think, contributors don't have much problems at all seeing their 
proposals/contributions at this list as long as they know it's part of 
the development process and they don't _end up_ on this list. If some 
contributors come with a ready-to-integrate idea (like Tito, a new brush 
engine etc.), such a list could/should be taken to examine, how these 
appreciated contributions can become a useful part of GIMP and keep 
track of that progress.

So, you have my +1.

Best regards,
