La chose qui est sûr, c'est que le porteur de The Gimp sous Windows a été embauché par Novell, d'après Nat Friedman, voici en gros les tâches qui lui auriaent été affectées :
"For Novell, Tor is working along the same lines, making Gtk+ and various parts of the Linux desktop stack run better on Windows to improve the experience for cross-platform developers. He is currently working on a dbus port to help complete Fredrik Hedberg's port of Beagle to Windows.
After that is done, however, his major project will be to port Evolution to Windows. The scope and difficulty of this work is currently unknown, so we don't have a timeline (or even a "development plan" to speak of), but you will be able to follow his work on the various mailing lists and on Tor's blog (once he starts one). The Evolution porting will be discussed along with all Evolution development topics on e-h. "
En tout cas celà correspond tout à fait à la stratégie de Novell de vouloir rendre disponible ses outils sur de nombreuses plateformes (cf iFolder, Mono)
