Hi, "Robin Rowe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > The relationship between GIMP and GIMP for Windows is made clear, > and everyone seems to agree nobody knows what the MacGimp effort > really does. sorry, but I didn't have the impression that your page sheds the right light on the relationship. Instead the reader may get the wrong impression that the the different platforms use a forked codebase. Perhaps it's just me, but that's what I read between the lines. > My true goal in documenting GIMP-related projects is to stem > widespread supposition and misinformation.

That's why Raphael and me tried to outline a number of mistakes in your page. If you feel personally attacked, that's your very own problem. It was definitely not my intention. The whole point here is that instead of a collaborative effort to provide some urgently needed information about the GIMP projects, you just went ahead and put something into public space. It would have been a lot better to prepare a draft and discuss it on the appropriate lists before putting this online.
