With free software that has no "phone back" feature you have no way to estimate if downloaded software is used at all or if there's a hype going on. Hence viability of GIMPshop is merely a speculation. The same applies to GIMP as well. > A product that not only can knock Photoshop off it's throne, but that > could get rid off Photoshop's dominance and arrogance alltogether. I think I can freely speak for the majority of the team here: we do not define GIMP as a project that aims to dethrone Photoshop. You are of course at liberty to disagree with our project vision. > You would think the Gimp society would have picked up on this, > however it never happened.

So much for "millions" of people waiting for a miracle. > We should recognize this need and use it to our advantage, instead > of ignoring it. By all means, please go ahead and fork GIMP :) Alex _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
