Re: [Gimp-developer] Gimp Manual Roadmap proposal
Hi Roman - when you talk about a 3.0 manual version in 3.0 - I am with the impression that the purposed changes would take place before GIMP 3.0 itself (as the next version shall be 2.10) So - it looks like the purposed version numbering would dissociate the manual version from GIMP's version - is that so? I think that might be confusing - although on a second thought it could be a manageable confusion, if it is clearly specified, inv arious places, that, for example, gimp-help-2 3.0 refers to gimp-2.10 . (As for the idea of going github I am of the same opinion as Jehan. We could put a mirror (fork in github parlor) there - but the authoritative repository should, by the reasons listed and maybe some more, be kept in the gnome infrastructure). regards, js -- ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address:gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding caused by my poor organisation of the wiki page. This is not part of the roadmap, but is part of our list of ideas. As such, I think it is valid to raise and think about; talk about it's pros and cons. But that's all what it is so far - an idea asking if it would bring any benefits. I know several (all?) of GNOME's repos have already been *mirrored* to github.

I couldn't agree more. I've moved our ideas on to a separate page to make the key points for the next release (3.0) more readable.
