Re: [Gimp-developer] Sourceforge downloads

SF claims abandonment of the project, and no response from the maintainer.
Of course, they may not consider a request to C&D the delivery of the
project as a "response"...

projects to leave it and stop using it, and maybe more.
I agree, if it hadn't been because they unbeknown to us had updated the
installer, the links would be pointing to an old version anyway. I think it
is better to have broken links and force people do a quick google search,
than having users install old versions with fewer features and more bugs.

I did get a mail saying it was currently in moderation. I have subscribed,
but I sent it from a different email address by accident.
