Robin volunteering was a nice spot in my day, however, i was hoping that some of those gimp people whom are just typing away at email or into an irc window to help so that actual gimp work did not suffer. Sven, nothing in your post offended me. mostly i felt bad as i tried to tag the AUTHORS file way back then. i seem to have issues with tags. maybe if you could whip together a template, i could work rocks script into spitting the AUTHORS out an xml form to your liking. his little script already does this nicely: http://carol.gimp.org/authors.png should be simple enough for even me to change the web page into whatever xml tags you see fit. a long time ago, Sven and mitch made me promise not to touch The GIMP source if i were going to take on the web site. i really think i have lived up to my end of that bargin. it has been so long now, perhaps you could start to assume that my intentions are *never* with the GIMP source. i have been very very good about following this rule, i thought. the source is a good thing to mine for information that makes it look like someone cares for the web site, however. i am so frustrated and disillusioned, that i am probably making it sound like i haven't had help with the web site so far. this is not true. the tutorial section is almost finished, due to the work of one person, not me. and the outlay of the site, a nice simple ssi thing was put into place by someone not me. and it works very nicely. as i mentioned earlier, Rock wrote a script that drops the AUTHORS into a page, and prolly i would be able to work with that and get what i need. but it is a bad thing when the existence of a web site about such a cool app as The GIMP is, relies on one girls learning curve. bad and pathetic. i am sure i could get the perl monks to help ... carol
