This is about the sort of library one borrows books from, for those wondering. :-) > I think this is a great idea.

Lots of open > questions - I thought this was a great idea though. I can see several sorts of support possible: - build & installation support - beginners classes Using the GIMP - plug-in coding - generic upkeep (calling when new versions are out, that sort of thing) None of that sounds very exciting, but I don't work in the support business. I can imagine that for an organisation for which time is money, any sort of support they can buy-in is welcome. -- branko collin collin@xxxxxxxxx
