i'm glad that gimp developers prefer to spend their time on improving the application rather than discussing and implementing 'improvements' to it's name. it's a darn good program. before i switched over to linux about one year ago i thought i couldn't live without photoshop. now i wouldn't use PS if it was ported to linux, because i like the GIMP much better. i'd use it if it was called "PIMP," "SHRIMP," or anything else you can possibly imagine. as far as i'm concerned, anybody who thinks the name is more important than the application is welcome to use something that sounds & looks better to them. people who care about important things won't base their decisions on idle speculation what a name might mean in one culture or language group or the other. -- phani. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
