[Gimp-web] second generation plans for gimp-addresses

[Carol Spears]

we were discussing a "How To Install MGO for Users" last night as well
as the need for comments in files like /admin/gimp-web-urls and i think
we discussed a few ideas that will lead to a second generation of this
format.

i suggested that the need for comments in this sort of file (i am going
to call it gimp-attributes from this point on) was not so important as a
few other projects.  my reasons were this, that the list was made to be
searchable with any simple editor or text reader and that the comments
would make the structure of this file "set".  as it is, it can be
reordered if the need arises.  

my next idea was to be able to break the dictionaries up into more
sensible pieces.  and example of this might be individual
gimp-attributes for images and people.  /admin/attributes/gimp-images
could be autogenerated easily (TheGIMP has been really nice about doing
this sort of work for me while i sleep).  

the htrw file would need to tell the web site which gimp-attributes to
use so there would be a rewriting of the attribute-rewriter by the
attribute-rewriter rewriter, Helv.

upon the rewriting, i would make a UserTooFriendly addition to the
gimp-area-howtos.  meaning, after Helv is done, i will write the how to
install the web site before committing.
