[Gimp-web] Status of the new web site

[Carol Spears]

You have issues with things that *several* people made decisions on 
(together) many many years ago by now.

the commercially successful sites (examples of the gimp being used 
online) have to be there.  Cameron Gregory's contribution to getting 
"Made by the GIMP" images online is greater than yours and mine together 
Rapha?l.  

when I paste the url for the information that is on mmmaybe, no one 
complains.  they are greatful for the information.  a team working on 
the site was done last may.  since then an army of one man (not a team) 
makes the decisions for gimp dot org.

pages designed by the web designer get excluded because of what reason?

the contest has people contributing RIGHT NOW.  with no complaints.

also, i would like to point out that the app it represents is out dated 
and barely supported by the current software.

thank you for taking such an interest in my old dead race horse.  last 
may, he was coming in to the finish line late, yet proud.  

please drop the site and stop wasting valuable time.

what is the way to remove a module from gnome cvs?  i am representing 
users when i say STOP!

STOP STOP STOP!
nothing funny intended.  this is an idiots discussion i grew sick of 
last june.  stop kicking my old proud yet quite dead race horse.  work 
on your personal web site (www.gimp.org) and leave this one alone, please!
