Gimp : UI redesign

As a graphic designer for years I feel the need to make a contribution to the design community. Most of my works has been for commercial purpose but years ago i found all this open source software that benefit people giving them access to work with alternate software that can help them in there everyday life. I been a Photoshop user for year cause is the industry standard but once i need to use software for developing some artworks and Photoshop what not available at hand. I then try gimp in i was amaze of been available to do the work without the need of an expensive software like Adobe Photoshop. So started playing around with a great number of open source softwares including Blender which is as powerful as Autodesk Maya or 3D max. The only thing i thought about gimp, was the user interface. For example if you look at blender it looks like a professional software from the very beginning. I even look scarier than Maya. But it helps the software to build a great numbers of fans who fill it has the potential of commercial available software in the market. I think Gimp need this. I have shown the software to different people and even it is good an it accomplish what it needs to be done, some people fill it looks like a toy or even not too professional. So I wanted to help with this and I looked around and didn't find anything. So i decide to design a complete GUI base on the actual GUI of Gimp,  My idea was to make a professional looking GUI. My hope is that someday could become as a standard software in the industry as any other in it category.
