Hi, 1/ Is it possible to force the download page at least to be https? There are some companies which provides free certificates with root CA in all mainstream browsers. This would be a prerequisite to pretend to provide safe download. For instance I see the page provides checksums, which is good but is half meaningless if not provided through a secure channel like https (half because it still allows download corruption check, but not malevolent corruption integrity check). 2/ Also still in the download page, could the download links for OS which have any (Windows and OSX) be made into colorful buttons? I believe this simplifies the download task. 3/ If the exact Linux distribution (Fedora rightfully detected, for instance in my case) has been detected, it would be good to have the install information for this distrib at the top (and maybe even the others hidden, unless clicking a "see all Linux distribution" link). 4/ As sad as it is (for someone like me whose first distribution was Mandrake, later known as Mandriva), the Mandriva company has closed this year. The website has been down for many weeks, thus even though it has been saved many times in the last years, it seems that this time, it is really the end. You may as well remove it from the list. 5/ I propose to add Mageia (which is a community fork of Mandriva, born a few years ago) instead. Same install command as Mandriva. 6/ For Fedora, yum is dead. The right install command is: "dnf install gimp" (well yum will still work but will output a deprecation warning and redirect to dnf). Of course, you may provide both commands if you want to be as backward compatible as possible. 7/ Mint is quite well spread too. I propose to add it to the "Ubuntu, Debian" list. (Mint is mostly derived from Ubuntu, except for one version derived from Debian) 8/ We have MD5 checksum for the OSX and Windows binary. I propose that these are also displayed for these on the webpage (since few people will go check the download servers if they have direct links). Probably most users won't care, but I believe this is important that we still do so. That's it for now. Jehan On Mon, Oct 5, 2015 at 10:32 PM, Pat David <patdavid@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I'm close.
