Well, I certainly am not willing to do a _new_ Gimp web site. I meant it when I said I am willing to do _some_ work. Re-designing the web site not only does not fit my definition of 'some work', it would also seem that parts of the web site need updating now, rather than waiting for a new design to come along. > I'd suggest you use this mailing list to discuss the future of > www.gimp.org so we can all contribute.

I assume you are not talking about simple maintenance, I take it that is what the people behind webmasters@xxxxxxxx do.

I am sorry, no. I do not have enough time for that right now. I am willing to help out, but not in such an important way. When I volunteered, I was thinking more along the lines of helping to make sure the site is up-to-date, i.e. that it mentions the most recent GIMP releases, does not run a 'montly competition' of which the last installment was in 1999, et cetera. -- branko collin collin@xxxxxxxxx
