Open CMS

Current comprehensive color management systems are currently tied to 
operating systems like Windows or MacOS, or in software from a common 
vendor (e.g. Adobe).  Unix/Linux has no comprehensive CMS and 
windowing systems and device drivers do not yet provide a standard 
color management mechanism.  Software like GraphicsMagick presents CMS 
as command-line switches, which require an expert to use properly.

Discussion has now started regarding how open source applications may 
accomplish CMS in a standard way.  Naturally, GraphicsMagick should 
participate in any standard CMS approach.

There is some very early discussion and proposals on the web site at 
"http://www.behrmann.name/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=38". 
If you are interested in CMS in an open source or Unix environment, 
you may want to become involved in the discussions and provide ideas.
