I get what you mean though, you want beginners to get a warm welcome and when they are here a bit longer they will realise what the customs are. I'm all for it. New GIMP users can become developers later on or contribute to GIMP in some other way. So I say, be nice, welcoming and understanding to them. Besides, it's good to be nice to others. The forums on GIMP are very welcoming to newbies, the mailing list a little less so, but it's not that bad. -- jolie (via www.gimpusers.com) _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
