Re: [Gimp-developer] [Gimp-user] Gimp download android

Hi,

I had the topic 'GIMP on other platforms' on the LGM team meeting
agenda, but we didn't have time to speak about it.
(See Schumaml's prepared document 'Meeting minutes').
As the topic raises up more often these days we should
clarify soon how to deal with newer platforms.

Kind regards,

Sven
