Funny, I just visited that site a couple of days ago, in search for a 
library system (and finally recommending 
http://obiblio.sourceforge.net to the person who asked me to look 
for one). This is about the sort of library one borrows books from, 
for those wondering. :-)
 
 I think this is a great idea. If there are people out there prepared
 to give commercial support to the GIMP, there should be a way for them
 to get some kind of official status, and have their name listed on
 the gimp.org website.
 
 What do people think of the idea? Is the GIMP the kind of program for
 which support contracts might be bought? Are there people out there
 who want to include GIMP Support in their business? Lots of open
 questions - I thought this was a great idea though.

I can see several sorts of support possible: 

- build  installation support

- beginners classes Using the GIMP

- plug-in coding

- generic upkeep (calling when new versions are out, that sort of 
thing)

None of that sounds very exciting, but I don't work in the support 
business. I can imagine that for an organisation for which time is 
money, any sort of support they can buy-in is welcome.

[Gimp-developer] Idea for support page

2004-05-10 Thread Dave Neary
Hi,

A friend here heard about Koha, an open source library management program, and I 
was looking at their site, and found this:
http://koha.org/installation/support.html

I think this is a great idea. Ifg there are people out there prepared to give 
commercial support to the GIMP, there should be a way for them to get some kind 
of official status, and have their name listed on the gimp.org website.

What do people think of the idea? Is the GIMP the kind of program for which 
support contracts might be bought? Are there people out there who want to 
include GIMP Support in their business? Lots of open questions - I thought 
this was a great idea though.

Cheers,
Dave.
