Hi, Jordan Evatt <webfreak@xxxxxxxxx> writes: > hey guys. we at themes.org are creating gimp.themes.org (you knew it was coming). i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or ideas for what should go on it. i just got through talking to #gimp, and here's what i have so far: > > a) don't create a separate repository for plugins and scripts > b) things like patterns / gradients / brushes are good > c) tutorial section probable, but some want that to stay at tutorials.gimp.org > > i guess i emailed because of the plugin issue. would you mind if we did create a new repository? it seems to me that people would be more willing to visit gimp.themes.org and click "plugins" and go to the big repository (i could upload all of the existing ones), then having to wade through gimp.org's repository. i'm not trying to make a "we get more hits than you so lets move the repository to our site" flame war, i just want some suggestions (in the nice way). First of all, I would be more happy if finally someone (or better, a group of people) would show up who want to redo gimp.org. The web-site needs an overhaul urgently and I don't think creating new gimp sites will help us with this task. The plug-in issue is special since we want to rethink the way plug-ins are developed, maintained and distributed. The key for a new better plug-in system is a description format for plug-ins that fulfills the needs of developers, webmasters and users. This issue should be discussed here on this list. I talked to Ingo, the creator and maintainer of the infamous plug-in registry, recently and he is willing to revamp the registry once we have settled on such a description format. I heard several people have already made plans for a better plug-in system but I'm still waiting for this ideas to show up here. > also the tutorials. included in the tutorials would be everything we have standard on all the other sites, like the documentation for installation and configuration/setup. it wouldn't be that bad of an idea to me to put some of tigert's tutorials (with due credit) on there as well for quick access. > > i'm pretty sure i'm gonna be the project manager of gimp.t.o whenever we get it drawn up. so this is why i want suggestions... SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS!! NOW!! GIVE ME!! :P > Noone can stop you from doing gimp.t.o, but in a perfect world, you'd better put that energy into gimp.org. Just my 2 cents. Salut, Sven
