Re: [Gimp-user] [Gimp-developer] changes in the mailing list etiquette

2013-08-14 Thread Vincent Cadet
Hello Alexandre.


Code of conduct is concise enough and quite understandable. Neat, clean, 
perfect.

If you don't mind one comment I'd just have written Stick to plain text 
instead of Stick to standards (which besides is a plural form while what is 
requested leaves only one option, which I'm perfectly fine with, that said.)

Kind regards,
Vince C.

Hi,

We've just introduced a short code of conduct for all of our mailing
lists instead of the long netiquette guidelines we used to have.

Please read it at http://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html.

The changes take effect immediately.

[Gimp-user] Re : [Gimp-developer] download.dk - malicious or just sub-par?

 Hi,
 
 we've been approached by download.dk about an award GIMP
 seems to have won on their site. They suggested to add this
 award to www.gimp.org with the usual link back to their
 site...
 
 Upon inspecting their GIMP download page, I'm not really
 sure if this is an elaborate scam, or just a sub-par try of
 implementing a downloads site:
 
 A strange driver update setup called installer.exe is
 more likely to be downloaded from their downloads page than
 the software the user intends to get. The link to this
 software is much more prominent.
 
 I tried to send them a mail about this problem, but that
 message was returned with a no mail exchangers for that
 domain, and the message shows some mailmarketing.com
 forwarding addresses.
 
 
 Has anyone got opinions about or experiences with this
 site?

The most probable explanation is some [hacked or] malicious web site trying to 
gain from the reputation of a renown product to spread malicious software 
instead of the true Gimp installer. Least I'd expect from a third party web 
site is to link or at most proxy download requests. In this very case it's 
obvious they didn't. Plus the fact that the domain has no mail exchanger shall 
trigger an alarm lamp string and put the threat level in maximum DEFCON.

My 2¢.

Vince C.
