[Gimp-developer] an idea for the screenshot plug-in

2007-02-01 Thread Sven Neumann

Hi, there's one more thing that we need to get done before 2.4 and that's updating the list of contributors. As we have discussed last year at LGM, it would be a good idea to also introduce some way to differentiate between active and inactive contributors. Currently when users look at the About
