I agree - identity is important! ... isn't Wilber the GIMP's "identity"? I think Wilber is very cute and easy to recognize, and so should show up in the gimp wherever possible. Right now I think Wilber only shows up in the "Tip of the day" box. I think he should be on the splash screen, on the about page, and perhaps even in the help files. If the help files will be based on GUM, which I imagine is a very structured document, maybe we could have special Wilber icons wherever there is a "warning" or "note" or "tip". Hey, we could even have a Wilber "agent" like the M$ Word Paperclip. Please shoot me now.
