GIMP just came out with a major release. The extensive release notes
(http://bit.ly/JlxQrL) are littered with statements such as:
This feature was originally developed during Google
Summer of Code 2008 and heavily improved since.
While I'm hoping we can turn GSoC work into production in less than 4
years, the GIMP release notes have left me even more psyched about our
three GSoCers!
Go guys! (At least I think you're all guys :-)
