Re: [Gimp-user] Announcement: this mailing list will be retired by the end of Oct 2022

[Andrea Veri <av gnome org>]

Hi,

I’ve received several questions during the past days which possibly makes
sense to summarize in a single topic [1] which I can then reference.
Hopefully this specific post will help anyone looking for the same set of
answers as well. If any additional common question arises I’ll make sure to
add it to this same topic in Discourse.

Thanks and please let us know if you have any questions around Discourse or
your onboarding process!
