As promised, a few more notes. This is not exhaustive, and I am mostly focusing on the download page, which is the most important in my opinion. I may have already told you some of the things below at some previous points in time. Sorry for the duplicate if that is the case. == Download Page == - BSD and Solaris are *not* GNU/Linux distributions. Either we replace the link s$GNU/Linux$/UNIX-Like$ (like in the section title actually!), or we make separate sections for these. I'd be in favor of the second. This makes these builds feel less like second-class citizens. Also it would be cool to have some more details for these other than just basically "GIMP can run there". - I don't really see the point of keeping the "All" section by the way. - Already told earlier, but when an accurate distribution detection is performed (my case. It perfectly detects Fedora), I would suggest to hide details for all other distributions (with a link "show instructions for other GNU/Linux distributions). Right now we are a little overwhelmed by information. Of course when a GNU/Linux distribution is detected but the exact distribution not known (or undetected), show instructions for all distributions as of now. - Isn't there repositories with GIMP in Redhat? This is one of the biggest distributions, especially in corporate world, and it feels a little sad to not have GIMP official support there. I would assume they use package management systems similar to Fedora but with their own (stabler) repositories. No? - What is the logics for order of names in "Ubuntu, Mint, Debian"? I would suggest alphabetical order. - Why do we give checksum for all 2.8 releases? Why not just checksum(s) for latest release only (we don't want people to install 2.8.0 if possible). For people who will want to do so, for whatever reason, the checksums are available in the download server anyway. - Only Windows has mention of GIMP user manual (other than the link in the sources section, which means people have to build them from sources). Yet most Linux distribution will also provide the gimp-help package. We should add such an information and advise people to also install help packages from their package manager. As an example, for Fedora, they can run `dnf install gimp-help` and `dnf install gimp-help-(ca|da|de|el|en_GB|es|fr|it|ja|ko|nl|nn|pt_BR|ru|sl|sv|zh_CN). No idea about OSX but obviously if there is similarly an easy way to install the help pages, let's write it down. - By the way, can we have a lang detection rather than the full list of languages available, with a link "show other langs" to display optionally other lang? Let's say that's it for now. Bye!
