Re: [Gimp-developer] New asset / extension manager

["Jacob Boerema" <jgboerema gmail com>]

Most of the work on the extension manager has been done by Jehan.

There is some info on the wiki:
https://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Extensions

Additionally there also is a repo:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/gimp-extensions-web/-/tree/master/docs

As most will probably know, we are lacking enough developers. Help is
always appreciated. The most likely person to say more about the best
course of action is probably Jehan. I don't know how often he reads this list.
In general asking on our IRC channel usually is faster.
