What is the correct/proper way of doing that ? I would suggest you check with your staff adviser to find out what they want to see. A good start would be to refer to the program as GIMP. :-) A link to GIMP's website would be a good idea along with the number of the version of GIMP you are using. -- Cheers!

Depends on your subject area - e.g. MLA has guidelines to referring to Web sites in references, and you tend to see something like, [GIMP12] GIMP image editor http://www.gimp.org/ accessed July 2012 Liam -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/ Ankh: irc.sorcery.net irc.gnome.org freenode/#xml ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

You'd have an awfully long reference if you named all the contributors. I'd suggest something like, All who contributed towards the GIMP libre software image editing program.
