It's interesting -- but not easy! There's already an "open" specification for
plugins, that's mostly used by close source things. Difficult points are:
expose tiles or not, scanlines or not, iterators or not, and colorspaces. Oh,
and plugins -- just filters, or also tools, colorspaces, effects, imp/exp
filters? In Krita, everything can be a plugin :-)
That said, we need to do something. Adobe closing their API has really created
a whopping big opportunity for something open and better to oust them :-).
The person in the Krita team who's best suited to discuss this is Cyrille
Berger, not me.
I should be working on the OASIS pixel image proposal, but first it's going to
be Easter next week, and I'll be too busy to read mail until Monday 24.
