[Openicc] List Scope

[edmund ronald]

I like the material I've seen go by, at some point I think the users
of some of these apps are going to chime in and say what they would
like to see implemented first. I don't think the print guys really
need to implement color management as such , they are pretty much done
with a decently functional print path,  it's more that they are being
nice and asking what they could do *extra* to help the domain experts,
and achieve better print quality. My feeling is that what every one on
this list needs is more user input, especially from users who have
good eyes, or from users who live with real production pressure. My
own two cents today is that this group should be more tolerant of
"pick and choose" users who want to move seamlessly between open and
proprietary platforms. There is a huge amount of domain knowledge
procedurally embedded in some of the well known proprietary software,
and expert users want to take advantage of it rather than abandon it.
