Ok, I am cross posting this to both Gimp-Devel and GTK-Devel (So Be careful
with the 'reply to all')


Here the scoop:

It seems that others are porting GTK+ to Mac OS X. Can you port GIMP to OS X
without GTK+ being there? Not really yet I understand.

So maybe GIMP is not an option for me to work on. However, I want to develop
something. I have approximately 6 years of C/C++ experience with assembler
developing commercial applications. My interests are graphics, Desk-top
publishing and system level utilities.

Is there a nice Desk-top publishing app for Linux out? (Something Like Quark
Xpress, PageMaker or Indesign?) I have used Quark and developed extensions
for it for years, I have also written a few Photoshop plug-ins. As far as
system apps, I like writing disk utilities, I started writing ghosting
software a year or so ago before I finished college.

Can anybody help me decide where to focus my efforts? I don't really want to
duplicate efforts if someone else is trying to do something. However, I
would like to contribute to bringing quality, commercial, and professional
open software to the community.

So can anybody give me suggestions as what to develop, what is needed out
there, everytime I want to do something, it seems that someone else is
either doing it, or it is done.

Sorry for the Off-topic post and the cross post, but I think that perhaps
your input can help me out.
