[Gimp-user] release date(s) & gimp PR problems

[Void lon iXaarii]

   I thought gimp 2 was due to end of february. when is it expected? Is 
there any way of subscribing to a list or something with announcements 
of each version ... for windows...  ?

PS: gimp seems to me like dead software for the simple reason that the 
gimp.org seems to be very un-updated:
1) *WWW.GIMP.ORG will soon get a facelift! announcement there for ages 
and yet everything still unchanged by time (not even new screenshots for 
2.0)
2)  I'm back to being a windows user. (unfortunatelly?) a large 
percentage of artists still are. Still getting a good gimp is like 
scratching your left ear with your right side. I go to gimp.org, 
download, ... there there's this tiny note with a link to gimp for 
windows .. then "download"... which if I go to leads to a very confusing 
page with many many links ...  and still none of them contained gimp pre 
2 ... then over there again I hunt for a non-obvious link to "gimp 
installer"  (http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/) ... and only then via 
de development version was I able to get a pre4. This sucks. I mean it's 
like .. umm ... it's like 7 clicks away from gimp.org. I mean ... well 
.. isn't gimp for artists ? .. or is it's target audience only linuxers 
and I used to be a linuxer for a while .. and still I didn't like 
compiling from sources ...  I see here small problems which with small 
modifications on the part of the right people could do a IMO signifiant 
improovement to Gimp publicity.
