Well, yes but I don't think that I will be able to do much before Friday, because I am currently on a business trip and it is not easy for me to read and write e-mail.

Yes, that makes sense. > Just get yourself an IRC client, Raphael :) I have many IRC clients! The problem is that I cannot use them: I have a slow and expensive dial-up connection at home and a much faster connection at work but that one has a firewall that blocks IRC (the firewall allows only HTTP, SMTP and SSH). So I don't think that I will be able to use any IRC client until I get a cable modem or xDSL line at home. > But seriously, would you mind drafting an announcement for this, > if you have the time?

As I wrote above, I don't think that I will be able to do much before Friday. So if someone else wants to pick up the job in the meantime, I would not complain. But then again, the mailing lists are so slow for the moment that this message will probably not be delivered until Friday anyway. Fortunately, you have IRC to discuss that with the other #gimp'ers. ;-) If you don't get any better proposals before the end of this week, then I will try to improve it and send you a draft of a revised announcement. -Raphaël _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
