Devs from most, if not all, of the open source apps that do graphics and 
support CM monitor or are active on this list.  Or, at least, have been in the 
past.  The feeling I get from my interactions with them is that for the most 
part they want the "color management experts" to design a solution in a 
transparent open way (so they are in the loop) and then implement it.  I think 
this is basically what is happening here and now on this list.  Mostly what 
they want is something that works, is easy for their apps to interface with 
and is easy for users to understand.   I don't think they care too much about 
the implementation details if those requirements are honored.
