If you mail to the list, please mail to the list, not privately ;-)

Since you're asking, gimpusers.de

- has twice as many backlinks
- the Alexa Rank is twice better both globally and in Germany
- was extablished in 2006, only a year later after you
- the guy behind gimpusers.de is active in the global community

What was your question again? :)

I never heard of gimp-werkstatt.de before, but now that I've had a
look -- sure, I can add it.

They can think all they like, but if they don't tell us they exist,
nothing is going to happen. Even though the team is international, we
don't speak every language in the world yet and thus we rely on
feedback from local communities.

Once again, it's all about taking action. You emailed us, and now your
on my personal todo list. This is pretty much like bug reports.
