Big Thanks!

Big Thanks!

After the Libre Graphics Meeting in Montreal, I would like to thank all of you who have contributed and still contributing to the manual.

When this project started in 2003, there was nearly nothing (except the very good books) for the user to read in form of a manual. It took now several years to create something which is usable by our readers. Of course, there are still a lot of things todo. But from my point of view, we would never be where we are without so many valuable contributions.

Thanks!

Okey - my mistake - one glitch Sven pointed me at:

Of course, there was already a GIMP user manual included with previous versions of GIMP created by Karin and Olof S. Kylander. I'm sorry if my statement went into the wrong direction. Because "The Official Handbook" was a book, I thought to gave enough credits by writing "except the very good books".

Sorry again, if my statement was not very precise for any misunderstanding :)

Greetings,

The point is that it wasn't only a book. Olof and Karin also wrote the help pages that we used in the GIMP helpbrowser before the rewrite 'gimp-help-2' was started.

BTW, is this still available in downloadable form somewhere? We have a link to ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/docs/ on http://www.gimp.org/books/, but this directory doesn't exist anymore (and we have a bug report about this). There are a few copies on the web, but it doesn't seem right to just link to an arbitrary one - an "official" place would be better.

HTH, Michael
