gimp-developer as well.

i am also wondering who comprises the people who can just make these
decisions.

i suggested for a very long time that we run the apache module that
disallows micro$oft software (or similarly aliased software) for several

some politics are fine, others arent?

i did not run the web site like that.

It has been discussed on gimp-web, see the thread "Re: [Gimp-web] [Fwd: 
Netstrike against swpats]" (Msg-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>).

www.gimp.org could be returned to normal now, though.

HTH,
