Hi Luya,
I like the idea of having some how-tos/tutorials for the design tools.
What's your vision for these things?
For example tatica/Maria has several YouTube tutorials already available
[1] on her channel. Having a default browser page that links to these
would be simple I believe? Maybe not.
It would also be nice to have things like "how to do HDR in GIMP" and
"intro to Inkscape". Doing google (or duckduckgo) searches for
tutorials often bring up things from 8 years ago and it is hard to know
what are the best tutorials out there. Perhaps providing some links to
the better and more recent tutorials for common tasks in the design
tools would be easy to do, too?
One other thing that occurs to me is to provide an orientation to the
tools. It is possible that a particular designer doesn't know about all
the tools included in the spin. We could also make suggestions for any
hardware tools like the Color Hug [2] that work well with Fedora. Color
Hug works out of the box with Gnome's tools and it would be great to
increase awareness about the project.
Just some thoughts I had after reading your email. Would love to
support this however I can.

Hello Designers,
The incoming Design Suite for Fedora 20 brought more highlighted changes:
- Cinepaint is dropped due to bugs [1], CMYKTool allow conversion from
RGB to CMYK.
- Customized favorites activities on the dock (Gimp, Inkscape,
Scribus, Blender)
- Additional font: Titillium
- Additional plugins for both Gimp (normalmap, dds, high pass filter)
and Inkscape (sozi)
- In Gnome Shell, enable category feature
In consideration,
- possibly include classic session
- inclusion of some tutorials (like CMYK conversion)
I submitted a review request of Gimp Paint Studio [2] , packager of
separate+[3] is awaiting for sponsorshipl I hope to include them in
the suite.
Feedback welcome.
