[Gimp-developer] GIMP's name
Hello. There are more languages than English. I'm from Spain, and I speak Spanish and I don't have problems with the word GIMP, and there is a lot of people in the world that thinks the same idea. Also, the new name could have problems in other languages. These discussions about the name are almost stupid, and a lack of time. Is better discuss about the single window interface, vector layers, layer groups, tags in resources... Vector layers or layer groups is something useful. A different name doesn't help to create new images and It doesn't save time to create them. If someone doesn't like GIMP, He can create their own fork and release It under his favorite name because GIMP is free software. I think that GIMP is useful itself and It doesn't need brandings or gimmicks. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Let them discuss the name and just ignore them. In the meantime we can discuss topics that matter.

I'm just wondering whether during the great discussions of old about changing the name of the program, the name 'Wilber' was considered? Wilber sounds like a good name not just for a mascot, but for gimp as well. No acronyms, no play on words, no hidden meanings (that I know of). There will be no name change. We love all the hidden meanings, and we know some you have no idea of ;) ciao, --mitch ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Not this again... :( Anyone who is offended by the acronym GIMP (or words in general) ought to step back and take a long look at atrocities commited every day: humans killing each other (often in the name of religion), humans allowing others to starve, and the list goes on... This world faces far larger problems than a bit of wordplay. So many people suffered horribly at the hands of the Spanish Inquisition that I am offended by any symbol depicting the Roman Catholic Church - but I hardly go around asking every church to take down their crucifixes - life's too short ;) Here we have humans working together for free to deliver a free - as in freedom - photo editor. I believe nothing short of a fork is going to change the name, and I respect that decision. Those who are offended should lighten up a bit - they'll live longer ;) These are only my own opinions of course, and do not reflect the positions of GIMP or Gnome in any way...
