spec writing seems to be a waste of time, competence and enthusiasm
at the moment. developers simply throw away a third of it and do what
they want. this pattern has been growing at GIMP over the last years.

so yes, the student exercises that I publish in my blog are not
designs for implementations. that takes more, especially fully
experienced interaction designer involvement.

so at the moment I am limiting my GIMP activities to parts where
the contribution vs. return ratio is worth it. apart from the
‘teaching using GIMP as real software’, I have to figure out
where else that is.
