Easy ways to help improve the GIMP article
- were you looking for something about GIMP and couldn't find it? Tell us and if it's appropriate we'll add it to the article!
- Do you find something in the article confusing? Tell us and we'll try and untangle it!
- Do you know more about GIMP than wikipedia does? Tell us when it's wrong, well fix it up!
Just telling us what confuses you, isn't clear, isn't good enough helps Make the GIMP article better and that contribution is really valuable. If your willing to edit and put in the effort required to improve the article I'm grateful as I've slowly been working at it on and off for a few years! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gnepets (talk • contribs) 13:49, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Media Attention?
Is the purpose of the section to inform the public or advertise that bloggers and their sites that have written about the software? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.36.225.66 (talk • contribs) 02:43, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- You've asked a leading question. In order to answer this I'd like you to state the question in form of "In order to improve this article/section, I believe" or "I beleive that <x> compromises the quality of the article for reason <y>. I suggest doing <z> in order to improve it". Gnepets (talk) 13:32, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
CYMK
I removed the section on CYMK from features as it over-values CYMK as a printing format. CYMK is an illusion to real printing needs, to really make this article shine someone who really gets commercial and consumer printing needs at an abstract level. What we had before wasn't accurate enough for an encyclopedia. If you really know your stuff about printing needs please specify why GIMP isn't good enough for printing please add to the article (The developers of GIMP are in agreement that they can do worlds better than what is done now as far as I know).

No change the final version till...
No change the final version till in the website of gimp not release the executable for download yet is enable the src of the program not the program?

- If I understand you correctly you're saying that we shouldn't change the release version number until the Windows installer is available. If that's the case I say no, because Windows is not the only platform on which it runs. We could argue about Mac OS X or many other platforms. The source code is available and that's all they every officially distribute. The binaries are available from third-party sources but the site points visitors to those locations as a courtesy. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:26, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
- this is a misunderstanding of the way GIMP is developed, GIMP is a source code release. Binaries are released seperately as allowed by the GPL. GIMPs version is the source release. Gnepets (talk) 11:07, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
- I also believe that if someone is willing to put in the hard work and they are correct we should congratulate them rather than say the work is not appreciated. As such: thanks to everyone who has helped update the article with the release! Gnepets (talk) 11:07, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
Please help update pictures.
As some of the images on GIMP are getting crusty and old I'd like to ask you to spare a moment and update some images. Your time and effort will be appreciated by me. Gnepets (talk) 11:28, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
Major re-arrangement of GIMP article
I've tried to reduce the number of sections and prioritise those that people have the least access to normally.
Reasoning.
- features are easily accessible and better understood by simply using GIMP. Moved below.
- Development. Few people have access or knowledge about the GIMP development process.
- Merged User interface into development. This is really another form of development with a dedicated Usability / User Interaction team.
