Being on this, and countless other lists of various software products, I have gotten accustomed to the fact that topics will come up again and again and again despite being discussed to death in the archives. it's happened with this, it will happen with other topics.

Here in Sweden, the name is just confusing for most people. I've heard the same thing on my own end, but until somebody proposes a reasonable alternative (and since I have not done any development on GIMP, I don't consider it appropriate for me to suggest one), we're really stuck at an impasse. Maybe something like gIMP. The one thing I'd like to see answered one way or another in a concrete fashion is how much of a barrier to acceptance is the name? Are CIOs really rejecting it because of the connotation? Is there a mass rejection? I don't know, I have no facts one way or another but until somebody actually puts together some numbers we're going to continue to scratch our heads as to why the GIMP is not as well accepted as we think it should be. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Currently I use namecheap for my domains and hostgator for hosting, neither of which runs that bad (three domains at approximately $8.88/year and $10/month for the hosting.). And I am nowhere near my limit for storage. The hardest part of any sort of periodical publication is keeping that constant energy going. We all have our lives outside of this forum, and in many cases that life has to come first. Somebody is going to have to maintain the role of editor and chief nagger in terms of getting content in on time (I've played that role and it is not fun). One last question for you all: if you do put-together an online magazine, who will you be writing to and for? It's easy for the people here to put questions to themselves and answer them, but I'm thinking that's not the audience you're aiming for (otherwise, why would you even need to expand beyond this). -- The NCP Revue -- http://www.ncprevue.com/blog ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] May be OT: Gimpshop
I currently have 2.2.13 of Gimp on Linux. I read about Gimpshop, and my questions are as follows: 1. Is Gimpshop a separate program from Gimp, or is it merely an extension? 2. If it is the former, can Gimpshop and Gimp run on the same machine? 3. If the latter, what extensions do I need for my Gimp? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp vs. Photoshop
Not to flame here or anything, but has anybody done an actual study as to if IT managers are overlooking GIMP because of the name, and I'm not talking anecdotes. I'm talking about a systematic survey. I don't deny that some people MAY have a bias against GIMP, but you need to look at the other side of the picture: what about the developers who still associate GIMP with a great program. Product names are filled with all sorts of good will, and if you're going to change, you'd better be able to sit down and say that there is a valid reason to do this.
