<cheeky>We could rename the GIMP to something else like GNU masterstroke 
(note: not a suggestion, we should make sure the .com, .net & .org 
domains are available), change the domain of all the official websites, 
and implement a decent code of conduct for <domain>.org usage, with an 
accountable group of community members maintaining the domain.</cheeky>

That way, gimp.org would become an irrelevant historical artifact. And 
one of the most common complaints from our American users (for whom the 
GIMP means more than just a chatracter in Pulp Fiction) goes away in the 
process.

Cheers,
Dave.
