Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP Site Redesign

[Mark Phillips <mark phillipsmarketing biz>]

Kasim,

I applaud your desire to help and the time you have devoted to a new web site. However, I agree with Frank that it was not a giant leap forward. 

May I suggest that you talk to the user community, including gimp-web, to find out (1) if they share your thoughts that the site needs help and (2) develop a list of what needs to be fixed. Then work with the gimp-web folks to incorporate the changes the community has asked for into the appropriate technology for the gimp web site.

Mark

I could sugar-coat it a whole lot, but I'll be blunt: it's not an
improvement. This is probably why you're not getting much feedback on
the gimp-web mailing list

While I agree that the gimp.org web site isn't terribly glossy, it
suits its own purpose just fine right now. And the developers are
accustomed to the CMS they're currently using, which is a whole lot
more important in the long run.
