Hi,
it was easier for new developers to contribute, if they had a
ready-to-use development environment.
Not everybody wanting to help, is a born Linux administrator by himself
to setup a suitable programming environment. There are many Windows or
Mac users, who'd like to help, but are helpless themselves in setting up
the necessary environment and keeping it up to date.
How about a pre-built developer virtual machine, created with say SUSE
factory and downloadable from the GIMP developers page? I guess, there a
projects out there, which already provide the service of building
ready-to-use VM's, like Turnkey Linux. Linux distributions nowadays have
a package manager to constantly update the VM, so the main effort would
be once.
Best regards,
grafxuser
