Then please clarify these! ;-) I find the FAQ very convincing :) I also linked your commend, so everyone can read both views (and not only colord FAQ) About Elektra: The last release is from 2008, it will definitely be difficult to convince distributors to packqage it if there's no visible upstream activity. From Richard, who contaced the Elektry guy, I know Elektra is alive, but thereÄs no sign of life ^^
Please do a similar table for Oryanos vs. colord than the colord maintainer did, so we can compare them. I guess that might be helpful even for people who don't understand color management very well.
