"Gimp (gimp) has not opted in to receive donations"

Seem like no activity since it was set up. Probably someone who smokes 
too much weed.

The most positive way to catch this is probably by joining the project 
and putting the correct home page,  links and info that would be helpful.

If it gets deleted it will only get recreated by someone else.

For the moment, yes.

We could consider to establish a home page there (although we will most likely 
not use any of their other ressources), so I'll look into blocking that url for 
future use.

[Gimp-developer] project gimp on sourceforge

2010-04-22 Thread Liam R E Quin

Someone has registered gimp on souceforge -
http://gimp.sourceforge.net/

I see there's a Donate Money link, and a non-working download link,
both of which may be harmful; maybe it's worth asking
sourceforge for this not-gimp project to be deleted?

This was from someone who wouldn't share it openly on IRC, although I
don't really see why not :-)

Liam (Ankh)


 Hi Ankh, a bit of info that I thought the team should know and
discuss before making it public
 It apears that someone has registered a project called gimp at
sourceforge http://gimp.sourceforge.net/ it has been there for about 79
days, and just has the default template content.
* Ankh looks
 so it does
 It may be worth the team contacting Sourceforge and requesting a
project takeover BEFORE any content goes up, even if you just use it as
a point of redirection
 I'll send mail to the gimp developr list (or you can)
 there are a number of policy items that you would have to meet to
oficially be allowed to keep a sourceforge prescence, but I think it
would possibly be worth it.
 I am not a member of the list, and figured that it should come
from within your community, but didn't want to have the universe
knowing, and possibly hindering your efforts :)
 ok, thanks for letting us know
 if you drop in at #sourceforge (on irc.freenode.net) and ask for
the policy doc links, they can be redily provided from there.
 np.
 I found out because someone asked questions about "problems" they
had with downloading gimp from sourceforge on #sourceforge, went and
checked the page..
 will leave you with it. if you want to contact me just /msg sbts
on the freenode network
 ok, thanks (I'm there too)
