Carey,
I'm not a gimp-developer but use it since 0.54 and would like
to be a little bit close to the book -) Is it possible to setup
mirror of your book online in Russia ? I may offer our web site
at Moscow University (http://www.sai.msu.su). Certainly your book
online will be full of graphic and it would be a pain for russian
users.
Regards,
Oleg
