[Gegl-developer] Start hacking GEGL

[Leonardo Giordani]

Hi all,

my name is Leonardo Giordani. I am an italian Linux user and I work as 
C/Python developer in the field of scientific applications (signal 
processing). I have some knowledge about graphics programming mainly coming 
from the demoscene.

I'm very interested in GEGL and The GIMP, and I downloaded the GEGL source 
code in order to begin understanding it.

Afer reading some code and documentation I am a bit confused...

The main questions are:

1) GEGL, gggl, babl: it is not clear to me "what is what". Should I study gggl 
and babl to understand GEGL?

"This library is designed to do what GEGL will be designed to handle: image 
processing operations catering for GIMP and many other applications."

So GEGL is gggl-based?

"Gggl is a version of GEGL that tries to be as simple as possible, but not 
simpler."

...or gggl is a tiny GEGL version?

2) Directed acyclic graph: where can I find more documentation about it?

3) Who is working in what field? Who can I help?

Thank you very much for your help.
