:-). Right now, you're the guy with the mac -- but as soon as we've got a bundle, I can find out what's needed, since my company, KO, already has submitted an application to the app store.

Of course, there are any number of reasons Apple wouldn't accept Krita in the app store, but we can but try. No philosophical objections on my part -- Krita is GPL because we want it to spread.
