GIMP has a copy of its Git repo on GitHub, made by GNOME folks. https://github.com/GNOME/gimp There are currently 216 forks of it. Have you _personally_ studied them at any length? Well, _I_ have. Last November or so I actually sat down and went through all the forks with actual changes created in the past 2-3 years. Out of those ca. 200 forks only a handful had actual changes to look at. And there was pretty much nothing to gain from those few. In my experience (that is, closely following GIMP development for the past 12+ years), people who are motivated to make a positive change have no problem cloning from git.gnome.org and sending patches. Of course, that's just _my_ experience. _You_ can run your own study and come up with different results. I dare you to do so :) Alex _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
