I was talking to Rich today and he pointed me to a wonderful paper : http://www-sop.inria.fr/odyssee/research/tschumperle-deriche:02d/appliu/index.html . Please look at the image restoration one can achieve with this baby. The "Image Inpainting" examples are breathtaking! The whole thing is on my todo for KDE 3.3.
I also got reports from people that some effects from KImageEffect simply don't work, or even worse are crashing. As it seems a lot of them hasn't been tested.
Also remember that a rather big group of KDE developers is coming to New York for the LinuxWorld Expo. George did a great job organizing this one. I haven't seen him since Nove Hrady and although we talk pretty much every day I can't wait to see his Canadian butt (preferably covered). Ian, in between doing awesome things with kjsembed and switching to Debian, is getting our banner ready. This expo is going to be a lot of fun.

This should be tested automatically
Looks like some regression testing, at least for the crashes, is necessary.
some ?
most functions are not actually used in KDE as it stands. im happy mosftet took the time to work out the code, but the fact most of it never physically could work along with the fact the functions where never used makes it kinda troublesome.
someday when we move to a more modern development model of TDD we can move away from these situations.
Image Processing functions
May I suggest that these tools, while not of immediate use, are likely to be increasingly important in the future. In terms of the development of Krita, they will eventually be useful to form the basis of filters and processing scripts, but beyond this, in the longer term, the interaction of vision components (cameras, video streams, etc.) will offer significant areas of innovation. If you are looking for the next 'killer-app', there's one hiding in there for certain.
Banner...
Im not pleased with it 100%, because its going to be the old website logo. It will work though, and I think its a big part about looking professional. In the past we have looked pretty sorry, while the gnomes have had their big ximain/helixcode/what ever name the company is this year booth. I know we cannot compete on crap in our booth, but I would venture to guess we would have a move knowledgeable booth this year.
needless to say im excited
