Outdated mailing lists

Hello,

Regarding the mailing lists mentioned on
http://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html

* The gimpwin-users mailing list seems to have gone. Do you know what
happened to it? If it can't be recovered, the link could be removed.

* I also think that GIMPimages (age restricted?!), GIMP-perl and
especially GIMP-OS2 could be removed from the mailing list page.

Thanks for reporting this problem. Since no one is actively maintaining
the website, it would help a lot if you could make a patch against SVN
(module gimp-web). That would make it much more likely that the page was
updated.

Where shall I send the svn diff to?

You can send it to this list.

Is this OK?

Hi,

thanks for your patch. I've applied it to trunk.

The reply from the owner was along the lines of "Yes! I removed it!

GIMPImages is active and does hardly justify the age restriction. It's
looking much like a duplicate of gimp-user, though, and not about
sharing images.

GIMP-Perl and GIMP-OS2 are outdated.
