Can be taken - but a web(designer/developer) need good specs before starting this task. There are plenty of CMS'es on the wild - most of them with many ready-made modules Joomla / Word Press/ CMSMS - they are the easy to implement (and not hard to modify). Drupal is solid and well documented for peoples who need to develop plugins on their own - especially security things... ...but before any choice to be considered - a solid set of specifications must be set (I presume there is a kind of governance on Gimp Registry - which can finalize this thing) once the goal is point by point on paper - would be quite simple to choose from already existing platforms. 2014-04-08 19:41 GMT+03:00 scl <scl.gplus@xxxxxxxxx>: > > > On 8.4.2014 at 10:44 AM <ingo> wrote: > Gimp Registry Future > > Dear Registry Users, > > I have maintained the registry for over 15 years now, and for the last > couple of years we have had an excellent team of co-maintainers who took > on a lot of the work.
