Slashdot. Right. That's where GIMP developers are blamed every time whatever they do. What a nice idea :) As a matter of fact, GIMP is rather regularly and nicely covered by Ars Technica.

Michael, dealing with people who have this sort of doubts is not the job for programmers. It's psychiatry. You need a special training for that. Let's not dive into the pool of amusing misconceptions. Providing nightly builds or dev builds is not a programmers job. If somebody wants to do it, let this person speak up and bloody well do it. It's been stated in public many times that GIMP team needs all kinds of help. In my experience it doesn't make any sense telling the team what to do. Now what *does* make sense is step up and say "Hi, I want to help you by doing this and that. How do I proceed?" So I'm tempted to ask: do you volunteer to help the team with raising awareness of things?
