Re: [Gimp-developer] [Gimp-docs] Proposed gimp tutorial

[Andrew Douglas Pitonyak <andrew pitonyak org>]

Hello Stephen,

Disclaimer: I have no particular ability myself to integrate these..

Having read these, I see that you have much that is useful to say. In 
other words, I found automated-jpg-to-xcf.odt to be informative.
That said, are you saying that you would like to create content that is 
published here:
http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/

It looks like you chose the correct lists (doc, web, and developer) to 
obtain appropriate feed back.
I recommend (and other feedback may negate what I say) that you identify 
what you would like to have as topics in the tutorial; for example:
"How to write a script that is available when an image is not open"

I was not aware that this was an issue until I read your document.

I expect that this tutorial would be "Change all JPG files in a 
directory to XCF".
