Hi all,
I have made some updates to the GUADEC content on dgo, but I have not had time to do it properly - I basically copied in some xhtml from the guadec site, but dgo is docbook based.
I've attached the current state of affairs - I replaced all the uls and lis with itemizedlists and listitems, but I'm not sure what to do with the as, the ps, the divs and the imgs.
Could someone who has a few minutes please tidy this up and either commit it in gimp-web-devel or send it back to me?
Also, if someone who knows how could add a link to this on the front page of the (temporary) www.gimp.org, that would be great too.
Thanks a lot, Dave.

<h2>GIMP conference activities</h2>
<p>
The GIMP Developers Conference, also known as GIMPCon, is a
gathering of GIMP and GEGL developers from all over the World. It
is a vital opportunity for the GIMP developers to meet each other
and discuss the direction which the software will take over the
coming years.
</p>
<p>
There have been two GIMP Conferences previously, both in Berlin,
and both graciously hosted by the CCC (the Chaos Computer Club),
a much less chaotic bunch of guys than their name suggests.

<p>
Last year's GIMP Conference was a sub-event of the Chaos Communications
Camp, a camping trip with broadband and laptops. During the camp, we
discussed ways we could make the GIMP better both technically and as a
community, which led up to the 2.0 release at the end of March.
</p>
<p>
At this year's conference we will discuss, among other things,
</p>

What we expect from a replacement for the PDB (Procedural
Database)

<h2>The GIMP, Live!</h2>
<p>
Two of our resident graphics designers, Jakub Steiner
(jimmac) and Tuomas Kuosmanen (tigert) are giving a
user-day GIMP demonstration on Wednesday. Last year, jimmac
presented a series of tutorials on basic GIMP techniques to
a crowd of over 100 people, and held them captivated for
nearly 3 hours.
</p>
<p>
This is an opportunity to see what the GIMP can do in the
hands of professionals, and to pick up some tips for your
own use. A spectacle not to be missed.
</p>
<h1>About the GIMP</h1>
<p>
Started in 1995 by Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis, the GIMP has
evolved into a mature and powerful application. The current
release is version 2.0, which has major improvements over its
predecessors in the user interface, making the GIMP more
accessible for casual users as well as graphics professionals.

<p>
GIMP is expandable and extensible. It is designed to be augmented
with plug-ins and extensions which allow access to its
capabilties via a number of languages. The advanced scripting
interface allows everything from the simplest task to the most
complex image manipulation procedures to be easily scripted.
</p>
<p>
The software comes with lots of features, some are newly
implemented and available with the 2.0 Release. A short list over
the most interesting features are:
</p>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
a full suite of tools for painting and image manipulation
</listitem>
<listitem>
preview of brush outline while you're drawing
</listitem>
<listitem>
customizable interface using a drag-and-drop dockable
</listitem>
<listitem>
advanced scripting capabilities (Scheme, Python, Perl)
</listitem>
<listitem>
over 100 plug-ins available as standard
</listitem>
<listitem>
fullscreen mode and view filters
</listitem>
<listitem>
much, much more!
