Re: [Gimp-user] Feature oriented vs. User Oriented development

[Michal Vašut <xvasutm gmail com>]

Definitelly the latter group, I'm using Gimp, watching it's development and
from time to time reporting bugs and making tutorials.

I know about Gimp UI redesign initiative and I've read the pages you've
linked, but don't see any progress (maybe in dev version? - 2.9, not using).

I didn't know about that project, thanks.

The thing with the plugin registry ... I have basic knowledge of needed
technologies, but I'am not skilled enough to not mess it. I don't know the
details, so cannot help. It would be useful to expose it somewhere on
github.

Don't get me wrong I respect people that volunteers and put effort in
"doing the world better", but in my opinion, the way, you are pushing it,
is not the best one.
