[Gimp-gui] Work in progress on an new/updated brush set

[Jehan <jehan girinstud io>]

Hello everyone!

Many of our resources are old, and not really up-to-date with current 
needs in an image editor.
Amongst such resources, brushes may not feel really adequate at times. 
Americo Gobbo, a painter, member of the GIMP team, is currently working 
on this topic on which he has thought about for years.

Here are 3 blog posts. Even though the dates show 2013, he said he 
updated some parts of it:

Also:
20:25 < Americo> in general, some of my ideas, 3~4 years ago are yet 
good... others are a bit questionable, for instance

Note well that the goal is not to make brushes for specific art styles, 
but the default brush set.
This is a heads up if anyone wants to give inputs on some brushes and on 
what you think the default set should or should not have.

P.S.: if you liked current brushes, do not worry. We will probably keep 
them as a "legacy" set in 2.10. And even if we were to remove them some 
day from official GIMP, we would make some archive available for anyone 
to get them back.
