Krita status and release goals

[Boudewijn Rempt]

Let's get the ball started...

Maintainer: Boudewijn Rempt

Estimates are in volunteer time, not 40 hours of hacking per week.

* Features:

Roadmap: http://wiki.koffice.org/index.php?title=Krita/Roadmap

- performance and tile backend
	who: bart coppens
	status: not started yet
	estimate: two or three weeks

- selection/mask reform
	who: boudewijn rempt
	status: started
	needed: the KoDocumentSectionModel design seems wrong for the task. May need 
to be changed a bit.
	estimate: four weeks

- selection visualisation
	who: Sven Langkamp
	status: not started yet, proposed gsoc project
	needed: the selection/mask reform
	estimate: two months

- painterly overlays
	who: Boudewijn Rempt
	status: started
	needed: the selection/mask reform
	estimate: four to eight weeks

- dynamic brush
	who: Cyrille Berger
	status: started

- chinese brush
	who: Boudewijn Rempt
	status: stalled
	needs: working way of painting anti-aliased lines of varying widths on a 
KisPaintDevice.
	
- port of all tools
	who: Sven Langkamp, Andres Lundin
	status: stalled
	needed: nothing
	estimate: unknown

- opengl canvas
	who: Boudewijn Rempt
	status: stalled
	needed: Adrian Page, I'm afraid
	estimate: one week

- opengl filter 
	who: Boudewijn Rempt
	status: stalled
	needed: opengl canvas

- color selectors
	who: Alice
	status: not started yet
	estimate: may be skipped or provided by plugins

- color management (out of gamut warning, over/under exposure warning etc)
	who: Alice
	status: not started yet
	estimate: two weeks

- filter preview 
	who: Alice
	status: not started yet
	estimate: three weeks

- make filters/painter work on single channels
	who: Boudewijn Rempt
	status: stalled
	needed: a little time
	estimate: two weeks

- printing
	who: Alice
	status: not started yet
	estimate: four to eight weeks _at least_. May have to be skipped yet again.

* Flake integration

- Provides a flake, but no tools yet. Could replace the plain image flake, may 
mean krita/image should (partly) go to koffice/libs/rasterimage or something 
like that.
	who: Boudewijn Rempt
	needed: first let's get the tools ported and krita working
	estimate: a few weeks

- Embeds flakes, but no selection and handling yet after the flake shape loses 
selectedness after creation
	who: Alice
	estimate: a week or so

* Open file format support

- OpenRaster design and implementation 
	who: Cyrille Berger
	status: ongoing

- libpsd (photoshop import)
	who: Cyrille Berger
	status: unknown

* Unfeatures and regressions 
	
- cimg filter
	reason: the current code sucks

- raw import
	reason: deprecated by libkcdraw, which isn't ported to Qt4 yet.

- ycbcr colorspaces
	reason: not ported yet (belongs to pigment, really)

- watercolor colorspace
	reason: we'll try it differently this time.

- not all of 1.6.3 has been forward ported yet!
