Juca,
Please don't worry about the tentative timeframe for the about screen too much (nothing is even decided about if we'll even shoot for doing that contest in September). We've just had experiences in the past where the about screen process got slowed down, so this was an attempt at trying to get one "outside" aspect of the release solidified. However, it would be good for there to be a little public discussion about Filters in general... what is done, what needs to be done, what needs to be fixed, how much available time any interested parties think they can spare in the near future, who wants to tackle what, etc. Filters are definitely one of the significant features for this release, so the rest of the developers being in the know can only be a good thing.
Cheers, Josh

i need some help on filters development. Maybe kiirala could help. I am not feeling that I would be able to finish them alone in just a month. I haven't had much time to work on it recently and I still don't understand everything that needs to be understood in order to properly implement everything.
Juca

I also agree that we're not quite ready yet either, but from my perspective it's the stability of LPEs and the Filters dialog (in addition to your reasoning). The LPE undo crash is not friendly, and I seem to manage to crash with the filters dialog pretty easily too once I start to make semi-complex filters (and when you delete things that are "input" to other items). Oh, and do we want to still shoot for the premade Filters (in a menu) for this release too? I'd be happy to contribute some. Whenever we want to run the contest, please let me (or whoever if we're going OCAL) know. -Josh
