 Italian, Norwegian, Korean, Spanish, Russian, English

 * updated quick reference translations: German, English, French,
 Russian, Swedish, Italian

Users should wait until this release has been packaged in a pre-compiled
form for their platform. Find more information about our goals and how
you can help at http://docs.gimp.org.

[Gimp-user] GIMP at LinuxTag 2006?

2006-03-08 Thread Roman Joost
Hi there,

I met Wolfgang Drotschmann from the LinuxTag e.V. at the Chemnitzer
LinuxTage last weekend. He kindly asked, if the developers or users of
the GIMP want to present the project at the upcoming LinuxTag in
Wiesbaden. The LinuxTag will help us of providing chairs, tables, beamer
etc.

So, is there somebody who wants to volunteer for this (incl. planning
and communicating with the LinuxTag e.V.)? Wolfgang gave me an e-mail
address where we still can announce our project and also request for help:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I would volunteer, but unfortunately I'm not in Germany at this time, so
I'm not able to drive to Wiesbaden. 

Sebastian Laube, an enthusiastic GIMP user (who also helped to answer
lots of user questions at the Chemnitzer LinuxTage) would like to help
in Wiesbaden.

Greetings,

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve with GIMP, but maybe you want
to use PIL?

  FWIW, I'm working on another GIMP book, tentatively titled The Artist's

  The Artist's Guide to the GIMP.  I think the publication date is early
  next year - publisher is No Starch Press.
  
  Could you all authors limit the copyright to a few years?
  (Instead of having copyright term 80 years after you drop off.)
  It should not make harm to the business.
  
  Well, the software was given free to you, give us something back.
 
 Is that legally possible without releasing it under e.g. Creative
 Commons from the first day?
It should be legally possible, because it's just a license thing (Of
course I'm aware of different copyright laws between the american
and the european copyright). 

But in both worlds, it should be possible to release it under a creative
commons compatible license (have a look at some o'reilly published
books). If the author want to, he can release it under a public domain
compatible license. At least in europe, he'll keep the copyright of his
work until he dies.

[Gimp-user] gimp-help snapshots

2004-08-16 Thread Roman Joost
I was thinking about the help releases today, which Sven made everytime.

In my opinion, it would make sense, to create gimp-help snapshots
besides GIMP releases. I'm not entirely sure, if there is time between
the GIMP releases, to create additional snapshots. At least for the user
I guess, it'll be nice if the GIMP package is released also with other
packages. What you guys think about?

[Gimp-user] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.0 User Manual -- developer snapshot

2004-08-09 Thread Roman Joost
Hi all, 

a new snapshot of the newly written GIMP 2.0 User Manual is available
from: 

ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/help/testing/gimp-help-2-0.4.tar.gz

and includes major improvements for the four current available
languages, which are: English, French, Swedish and German.

This developer snapshot is basically for soliciting new contributors, who
will assist us in writing and correcting errors. Check out the 
project page on the GIMP Wiki at:

http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/GimpDocs

The Manual itself is written in XML and Docbook. For new doc-writers,
knowledge of XML and Docbook is helpful, but not required. We're also
looking for proof readers. A mostly up-to-date CVS version of the manual can
be found at:

http://docs.gimp.org/

Thanks to all who made this snapshot possible.

Happy writing and testing,

[Gimp-user] status of gimp-help-2

2004-07-04 Thread Roman Joost
 and then automatically. This idea has some major
problem when it comes to different positioning of menus and
other things, that i discarded the idea. Well, the guys from Sun
gave said, that we should provide screenshots only when they are
*really* necessary. Another problem with screenshots are the
dependencies to languages. I propose, that we shouldn't make
screenshots for every minor function or dialog, but describe the
functions or dialogs better.


To summarize: I want thank everyone who made this possible. After
writing most of the content, the content needs to be reviewed
consistently by everyone, especially the developers or people who know
the technology background. Users who are testing the manual might be
able to give us feedback, when they encounter errors, typos or not the
solution they are looking for. I hope, that I'm able to encourage more
people to help us and to have a nice user manual for everyone who is
using The GIMP.
