All involved in development: UI team, developers, documenters.

I think that is a consensus thing. Also everything is connected
with the phased introduction of GEGL, which we have seen recently
makes working on some urgent issues a waste of time, because
a lot of code will be scrapped.

And yes, I understand and support that 2.6 is going to be 'light'
on UI changes, to get the phase-one GEGL work done.

Let's see: a roadmap is new for GIMP, as is a structural UI
renovation project, as is a new engine. We need to get experienced
with this and better integration of all big ideas out there.

 From my side I need to contribute by doing the analysis part of
our UI process and make that accessible as blog entries
(a GIMP issue a day?).

I am really looking forward to a roadmap...
