What does that mean? There was no discussion and no announcement about that. Before anything is done, can we have a bit more information (and discussion, if possible) about what is going to happen? > Sorry about the weekend notice also, probably i followed the WrongMethod > like they did to notify poor Arthur Dent of his homes demise in the > first of the hitchiker books. Yes, sending an unexpected announcement during the week-end is probably not the best way to communicate with those who are usually not on the 'net at that time. > Please send your ideas or needs to this list or any other. But what is planned exactly? It is difficult to send any ideas or needs if there is no information about what is going to happen, why and when... > Lets call this 24 hour notice. This is definitely too short, especially since there was no early warning nor discussion on any of the mailing lists (AFAIK).

I won't be able to back up anything before Wednesday due to lack of time and disk space, so I hope that nothing is going to happen today. Anyway, what is going to happen to Wilber? What is going to happen to the web site? In the last few days, I spent some time updating several pages, including the release notes for 1.2.4 and 1.2.5, the list of mirrors (web and ftp) and the pages describing how to install the GIMP. Do you mean that you want to remove the current web site without any discussion and without any planning? The last discussion on the gimp-web list was in April (except for two messages that I CCed to the list in May, but that was not a discussion). What is happening now, all of a sudden? > if you have any ideas, perhaps you should pipe up with them. What does this mean? -Raphaël
