[Gimp-developer] volunteer needed for preferences dialog
Hi, IMO it's about time to try to clean up the preferences dialog once more. Here are a couple of ideas on how the dialog could be improved: - I'd like to see the Interface group be removed. That would flatten the hierarchy which is kind of arbitrary at the moment. - The theme chooser should be moved to a separate page, the Interface page is rather crowded. - Input device configuration should either be redone or moved to another page. Having it on a page of it's own doesn't make too much sense. - The items on the session management page could IMO be moved to other pages. - Perhaps we should show the dialog with the Folders section collapsed. That would make the dialog smaller and less frightening. - We could IMHO remove a couple of options. They could stay to be configurable via gimprc but we don't necessarily need a GUI for all of these. Possible candidates for removal are IMO: - undo-preview-size - info-window-per-display - tearoff-menus - last-opened-size - use-help - perfect-mouse - cursor-updating - min-colors - install-colormap - stingy-memory-use - trust-dirty-flag - restore-session - restore-accels These changes are all rather easy to do so this is a nice job for a fresh contributor who isn't afraid to learn some gtk+ and gimp basics. Please do also not understand the above as a list of instructions. This is just how I would address the problem. If you pick up the job then it's up to you to decide how it is done in detail.

Hi, Update on the paypal details. The form to be added to the web page to allow one-click donations is this: form method=post action=https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr; input value=_xclick name=cmd type=hidden input value=[EMAIL PROTECTED] name=business type=hidden input value=Donation to GIMP Project name=item_name type=hidden input value=106 name=item_number type=hidden input value=http://www.gimp.org/sponsors/thanks.html; name=return type=hidden input value=1 name=no_shipping type=hidden input alt=Support the GIMP name=submit border=0 src=donate.png type=image /form Is anyone currently working on the web pages? A reply from someone who is with a yes, but I don't have time would be fine, but the absence of response to my last mail is worrying me. I'm quoting the entire previous mail, in case anyone missed it. Do we have a web team any more? If so, who's on it? Cheers, Dave.

[Gimp-developer] Volunteer needed
Hi, I thought I would have time to do so, but I am fast realising that I won't. We now have, as I said before, 3 ways that people can donate funds directly to the GIMP, via the GNOME Foundation. This is a short-term arrangement, and we will discuss what (if anything) we want to put in place long-term with the foundation board at GUADEC. So - here's the request: The following information needs to be added pretty quickly (and prominently) to the webpage, so that we can start advertising the ways to fund the GIMP around community sites. Is there anyone with the time to do this today or tomorrow? I won't have time to do this (even if it's pretty small) until next week, at the earliest.

Hi Dave, GNOME Foundation c/o Novell, Inc. 8 Cambridge Center Floor 5 Cambridge, MA 02142 Perhaps the country name could be added as well? Otherwise people may assume it is the first Cambridge (UK) or one of the other international cities using the same name.
