With all the helium, one would think he might cheer up, eh? ;) I'll see
if changing the expression will not ruin such an adorable face...

I don't know, do we? Maybe for people completely oblivious to what GIMP
is, it may help them to realize GIMP rocks, sooner. On the other hand,
it would mean maintaining a reasonable list of awards in the past
years. 

Unless somebody feels like maintaining that page, I'm very happy to take
the award link out. It does look cool visually though (after some
polishing of the ghosts, was a quickie).

Yes indeed. I wonder if making the titlebar clickable would do, or if we
need an explicit link.

Alrighty. I have created a
http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gimp-web/branches/v2.4/ branch and put all my
WIP changes in. Everyone, please feel free to help with structure and
release notes content. I will be focusing on the stylesheet and graphics
for the meantime.

I was a bit skeptical about how the website is managed, but it's really
nice and tidy. The only barrier to entry is needing to set up a local
apache with includes working. In the end a full blown CMS would really
be an overkill. It will be a lot more sane to come up with a nice svn+
apache howto, to get people started quickly.

cheers
