hey guys. we at themes.org are creating gimp.themes.org (you knew it was coming). i
was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or ideas for what should go on it. i just
got through talking to #gimp, and here's what i have so far:
a) don't create a separate repository for plugins and scripts
b) things like patterns / gradients / brushes are good
c) tutorial section probable, but some want that to stay at tutorials.gimp.org
i guess i emailed because of the plugin issue. would you mind if we did create a new
repository? it seems to me that people would be more willing to visit gimp.themes.org
and click "plugins" and go to the big repository (i could upload all of the existing
ones), then having to wade through gimp.org's repository. i'm not trying to make a
"we get more hits than you so lets move the repository to our site" flame war, i just
want some suggestions (in the nice way).
First of all, I would be more happy if finally someone (or better, a group
of people) would show up who want to redo gimp.org. The web-site needs an
overhaul urgently and I don't think creating new gimp sites will help us
with this task.
The plug-in issue is special since we want to rethink the way plug-ins are
developed, maintained and distributed. The key for a new better plug-in
system is a description format for plug-ins that fulfills the needs of
developers, webmasters and users. This issue should be discussed here on
this list. I talked to Ingo, the creator and maintainer of the infamous
plug-in registry, recently and he is willing to revamp the registry once
we have settled on such a description format.
I heard several people have already made plans for a better plug-in system
but I'm still waiting for this ideas to show up here.
also the tutorials. included in the tutorials would be everything we have standard
on all the other sites, like the documentation for installation and
configuration/setup. it wouldn't be that bad of an idea to me to put some of tigert's
tutorials (with due credit) on there as well for quick access.
i'm pretty sure i'm gonna be the project manager of gimp.t.o whenever we get it
drawn up. so this is why i want suggestions... SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS!! NOW!! GIVE
ME!! :P
Noone can stop you from doing gimp.t.o, but in a perfect world, you'd
better put that energy into gimp.org. Just my 2 cents.
Salut, Sven
