That is why at the suggestion of several developers we formed an 
openicc list on freedesktop.org.

Mostly it is a talk shop now on how to make a common framework for 
color management. This discussion spilled from that list.  It is 
still early days, but I *am* encouraged we will see some common specs 
and ease of use by end users.

Well actually, there are more links in the chain, not just the 
graphical apps, but Ghostscript, Imagemagik, CUPS and gimp-print 
(becoming gutenprint) to name a few. 

That said, I think it is important to understand we on the Scribus 
team do NOT want to take sides discussing GIMP and Cinepaint, nor 
should it be a topic here... 

It should be crystal clear to all.. Our wish is to deepen our working 
relationship with all the F/OSS graphics applications to the 
exclusion of none. 

I think one of the really great things which adds to Scribus is the 
open, friendly and respectful tone on this list, IRC or wherever we 
might visible.

Cheers,

Peter
