Apologies for the top post. My phone won't permit anything else. With regard to the Firefox comparison, if the name was the only difference you'd have a valid argument. But unless you can line up the potential contributors who were put off by the name you're going to have to take into account th

Come to think of it, I'd like to see more GIMP teeshirts. Is there somewhere where we can submit designs for them, where profits go to the project? On Wed, Apr 29, 2015 at 11:03 PM, C R wrote: > I'm an "American" (US citizen even), and the name GIMP is just fine. For > the record, I have no issu

To put it into perspective, do a Google Image search for "gimp", and see the ratio of GIMP project images to fetishy Pulp Fiction swag. The internet has voted on this one already, and it's an overwhelming majority in favour of GIMP being a FOSS image manipulation program. On Wed, Apr 29, 2015 at 1
