I didn't know this page, though it is not much filled anyway. :-)
I personally does not care much *where* it is as long as I know this
*where*. Indeed I think it could be a little more centralized. Between
developer.gimp.org, the wiki, what is in the repo, etc. I am a little lost
and end up spending more time on search engines than in the doc. :-/

Ok I'll pass some time today or another day and ask for an account.

Thanks for the offer! I had so many problems one after the other that I
felt asking too much would be bothering everyone.
Anyway now I compiled it, well enough to be able to test my patch (that is
now in the main repo), so hopefully I won't need to bother with Windows for
quite some time.
But if I need more, I will ask on the list. :-)
