I'm happy enough if this discourages the lazy. One of the things that attracts me to this project is the level of attention to detail and enthusiasm from its contributors. > Is there a FAQ URL?

The developer faq is at http://developer.gimp.org/faq.html , linked from the menu. > And the FAQ doesn't have anything on the language(s) used to write > GIMP. If I write the answer, it'll be "why don't you download the sources and check for yourself?" :) Seriously, that's the best answer one can give. A contributor will need to do this anyway, the curious should be encouraged and for anyone else, the answer is irrelevant. > Except I'm hesitant to run off and register for the wiki so that > I can add it, given that it's not linked from the main GIMP site, > no one refers to it and the page itself discourages anyone from > using it. Then the situation is unlikely to be improved. The out-of-date disclaimer should probably be left up until at least one of the veterans reviews the Q/As. The majority of the FAQ is up-to-date, though. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
