You could have a Basic GIMP Stuff tutorial, for those who never looked further because they felt GIMP has a complicated UI, and then some advanced layer&channel juggling in another session. You could have a one hour session every 8 hours of one day, so that all users get a chance to join in. I remember from learning to use Adobe Illustrator that actually seeing somebody using the program (in this case on a video tape) helped a lot. There are all kinds of small things in complex programs like Illustrator or GIMP that get one small mention in the manual, but make life a lot easier. Of course, showing how to do stuff won't really be easy over the net. Have you got any experience with giving tutorials like this? -- branko collin collin@xxxxxxxxx
