Re: [Gimp-web] New here, I'd like to help

[Pat David <patdavid gmail com>]

Jehan actually has a plan in mind (along with pippin).  The new idea will
be to consolidate assets from multiple sources in a federated list within
GIMP to make them available (where possible - see prokoudine's statement
about C plugins).

Perhaps you'd like to write some new tutorials?  We could use some nice
tutorials that cover beginning concepts for newcomers (or really of all
skill levels).  We need to update the documentation for a new release as
well - do you feel up to writing some documentation?
