[Gimp-developer] Regular GIMP news; lack of developers

2012-03-11 Thread grafxuser
Hi, currently I see the gimp.org news page updated round about one time per month. Why not tell the readers more often about GIMP's progress? Look at digikam.org. Nearly every week there comes a message, showing what's possible with Digikam and that the project is still alive. To show this

[Gimp-developer] Easy access for contributors

Hi, it was easier for new developers to contribute, if they had a ready-to-use development environment. Not everybody wanting to help, is a born Linux administrator by himself to setup a suitable programming environment. There are many Windows or Mac users, who'd like to help, but are

Maybe you could put a link to gimpusers.com on the front page. Why? - because it will not hurt - because it's somewhat logic (why not keeping a link to a community of users ?) 2012/3/12 Alexandre Prokoudine alexandre.prokoud...@gmail.com On Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 11:17 PM, grafxuser wrote:

that's not mean that you are right. please think from the user perspective indeed you don't expect them to link to your builds that's does not mean that they should not do that. from a developer point of view they have some reasons for that - connected with the credibility of the GIMP stable
