[Gimp-developer] What is the roadmap / plan for GIMP development?

[Jesper de Jong]

Is there a roadmap or release planning for GIMP development?

I would like to know what GIMP developers are currently working on, and what 
new features and bug fixes are planned in what releases, and which releases 
are planned in the future.

I couldn't find a roadmap for GIMP development anywhere on www.gimp.org or 
developer.gimp.org. I found the page about the GIMP Developers Conference 
2006: http://developer.gimp.org/gimpcon/2006/index.html

According to that page, there are apparently some releases planned (2.4 and 
2.99).

On the Wiki I found this: http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/DreamRoadmap
But that's only a very short list of wishes, not really a planning with 
releases and target dates.

Two main issues that are of interest to me (and many other photographers) is 
when we can expect colour management (support for ICC profiles) and 16 bit 
per channel images. I found out that this will be implemented in the GEGL 
graphics library.

On the GEGL website (http://www.gegl.org) I could not find any information 
about what the planning is to integrate this into the GIMP.

So, is there a roadmap for GIMP development somewhere or is this information 
only available in the heads of the most active GIMP developers?
