[Gimp-web] GIMP Brainstorm

[Chenaux David]

Ok, i've read the INSTALL file.
Now I see the use of the wiki too and i'm starting to see that there is a
lot of outdated content in the website ^^

About the wiki, why should we use static info on the website instead of a
good wiki ?
We should make a link on the webside for the wiki (perhaps we should create
a new one because this one is very spammed...) and put the documentation on
it. This could provide a good way to have an uptodate site !
