Fundraising campaign

netlabs.org is hiring developers for some time now, it has shown that we can advance much better in projects like this. We would like to continue that way to make sure that we can provide more and more applications on OS/2 and eCS in the future. To focus on the need of our users we will provide project proposals on this page with estimated costs to finish the project.

GIMP 2.x and GTK2

GTK2 is the toolkit used for many applications on Linux, including

• GIMP - The GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.
• Evolution - An Outlook-like application that seamlessly integrates email, calendaring, contact management, and task lists, in one easy-to-use application.
• GAIM - GAIM is a multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) client which is compatible with AIM and ICQ (Oscar protocol), MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, and Zephyr networks.

A GTK2 port would make it possible to port those applications to OS/2 and eCS. While some more libraries are used that need to be ported too, GTK2 is the most complex of those libraries because it draws the windows.
