I'm quite upset. I've been an Open Source proponent for a long time now, and have been trying to get people in my company on board with using GIMP and Inkscape, as they are wonderful free programs that we can have on as many computers as we like, and share and edit information. The problem is, GIMP (and Inkscape) is hosted on Source Forge, which insists on slathering the download pages with adverts. This would not normally be that much of a problem, but many of these adverts sport lures and misdirects with big "download here" buttons, where the user is taken to a page where they are tricked into downloading and installing something other than GIMP. I've had to host my own personal "safe" copy on my website, just to give it out to friends I tell about it. It's crippling to the popularity of the program that the first experience with Open Source software, is an accidental malware/adware infection. I recommend different hosting for GIMP. It's far too fine of a program to be hosted on Source Forge. Thoughts? Solutions? Thanks. -C.Rogers _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
