Re: [Gimp-developer] Regarding gimp.org website rewamp
We will be looking in the future to support plugins and assets for GIMP available through an interface within GIMP itself and it will likely be coupled to a server/website. Think of it similarly to Firefox Extensions/Add-ons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ We haven't had a chance to really push this further at the moment, but it is on the list for the future still, I believe.

It's really best if you keep your responses on-list as Shlomi mentioned earlier ( https://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/computers/netiquette/email/reply-to-list.html ).

Re: [Gimp-developer] Regarding gimp.org website rewamp
Hello Rohan! We certainly appreciate any offers of help! However, we are usually careful to avoid change for the sake of change unless there's a good reason. Shlomi has already done a superb job in some of his questions, but in essence ask yourself what might be improved by migrating to a new system or what is not working currently that would be fixed/addressed through such a move. Also consider that just as valuable as fixing a problem or improvement is the long-term prospects of a maintainer. Someone will need to stick around and be available to help others for the long-term - otherwise we run the risk of rot and roadblocks to usability. As mentioned, there are certainly plenty of areas where the project could use a hand. Perhaps something like a new site for plugins and an interface for providing data to GIMP would be a better option?

Hi Rohan, you should have replied-to-list per my request: https://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/computers/netiquette/email/reply-to-list.html That doesn't bode well.

Apparently there are some React-based static site generators: * https://blog.bitsrc.io/9-react-static-site-generators-for-2019-f54a66e519d2?gi=63286d50bf79 Nevertheless, I believe one can extend or override Pelikan (which is what https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/gimp-web currently uses) in a similar way using plugins/etc.: https://docs.getpelican.com/en/stable/plugins.html , and I find python a saner language than JavaScript.

In my opinion, https://www.gimp.org/ looks and functions well, despite being somewhat reminiscent of https://everybootstrap.site/ and while having some minor validation errors (see https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gimp.org%2F ). I also think it is a mostly static site, which can be an advantage (see https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-tech-diary/blob/master/static-site-generators--despair.md ).

We also have no plans to do any revamps just for the sake of doing them.
