Re: Gimp Manual Roadmap proposal

So - while we don't make a major decision about the roadmap (hello LGM
:-)  ), or have a branch to work on changes for GIMP -2.10  - do we
have at least a wiki page where we can take notes of things that
should go into the manual?

(I'd be for creating a "2.10" branch and start editing the XML english
SRC there - there will be quite a lot of news for this release, and it
would be said to have to wait over an year for the manual to catch-up
when it is out).

I remebered this e-mail thread because I added some changes to the
"align" tool yesterday, which would make for 1 or 2 paragraphs in the
manual - but also, now, looking at the logs I saw just this:

"""
commit dd648b1c1264a70ade137276293e827b40954eca
Author: Michael Natterer <mitch@xxxxxxxx>
Date:   Sun May 19 22:21:38 2013 +0200

...skipping...
    Don't allow tool operations on invisible items, just like we do for
    group layers or locked items.

    Cleaned up and enhanced the patch a bit --Mitch
"""
Which means: trying to paint in an invisible, active, layer works up
to GIMP 2.8, but is a NOp in
GIMP Master.
It is there for over an year, and I had not taken note - yet, it
should be mentioned in the manual, as
it is in some aspects a big change  in the way GIMP used to work. (And
I see no drawbacks in it)
