here is the outline for the kate + peter lgm Vienna talk:

• intro
  • introduce us
  • interaction architects
  • you know us, we are working on GIMP (for years)
• this project,
  • internship of Domi, all text handling in GIMP, in progress
  • the project structure is our story
• text handling vision, point for point
  • relate to overall GIMP vision
  • the GIMP context
  • the GEGL strategy
  • input of user needs
  • sum up: not contextless nuts-and-bolts discussion
• Project-
  • functionality- what happens in other packages- what do typographers need?
  • scenarios- we did it- they are based on the GIMP user scenarios
  • evaluation
• Analysis
  • interesting stuff we found out along the way
  • how we got where we are
• Text
  • attributes of free text
  • working with text- editing modes
  • the bounding box
• Vector containers
  • the "text box" is vector container - duh conclusion... but in the GIMP context...
  • handling the different aspects of the text object they are working on- what is in the text tool (positioning- resizing and moving etc..)
  • the marriage of the text and the vector object - for example margins- belonging to the text but are only fully applicable when the text is contained
  • dealing with complex vector shapes
  • using the bounding box - setting text in complex shapes
  • Negative wrapping using vectors

and then onwards…
