Hi guys,
I'm running openDesktop.org, KDE-Look.org, GNOME-Look.org and other websites for Free software.
As a long time GIMP user I noticed that there is no real community site where GIMP users and developers can share Brushes, Images, Fonts and Tips and Tricks.
So I created www.gimpstuff.org . It is part of the openDesktop.org network. So if you have an account on GNOME-Look.org on any other website you can login.
I hope this is helpfull for you and the GIMP users.
What do you think?
I you have ideas or suggestions how to improve the site please send me a mail.
Cheers Frank
P.S. GIMP rocks. :-)

Did you check out places like www.gimptalk.com? I think it is a big enough forum that having a link to it could be good. also gimp-brainstorm.blogspot.com, since you have a brainstorm section.

I'm impressed! It's quite comprehensive.
I'm about to submit my dithering/halftoning patterns there. I've been looking for such a site for a while, since I have some considerable amount of resources to contribute.
I hope this is helpfull for you and the GIMP users.

Must I upload each pattern as a separate .pat file?

Great idea (and execution) Frank!
I already submitted my Brushes to your site. Give it a try, its Creative Commons-Share Alike license =) Links:
http://www.gimpstuff.org/content/show.php/GIMP+Animated+Brushes+1%2C+2%2C+3?content=81797 http://www.gimpstuff.org/content/show.php/Brushes+Pack-Ink+hachuras?content=81798
By the way I'd like some of my brushes were in the official GIMP release. I think GIMP lacks "artistic Brushes" and these are largely used by some very good artists here in Brazil. How can I submit? If a change on the License is needed I can do it easily.
Thanks allot for the site (and for making GIMP to!)!

Sorry for the trouble and thank you for the bugreport :-)

Yes. You are right. But the new sites provides a lot more functionality than a simple forum. I can remove the brainstorming category if you thing this is too much dupplication.
I forgot to mention that there also is a public api to fetch the contents from other websites or from desktop applications like GIMP. http://api.gimpstuff.org/
KDE is already using this functionality. It would be great if GIMP would integrate too. So users can browse and download addons directly from GIMP

Good point. I have added the link. Do you think it is possible that gimp.org or gimp-brainstorm.blogspot.com link to gimpstuff.org,

I'm sure that gimp.org could. gimp-brainstorm -- well, you can but try. Thing is, I'm not sure how to contact them. You might have to submit an 'idea' to the only email address provided, in order to ask them. Or peter sikking might be the appropriate person to contact (peter AT mmiworks DOT net)

:):)
OH! I was reminded when browsing -- I have a Python based plugin. Do I put it in plugins because it is a plugin, or scripts because it is a script?
I´m not sure. What do you suggest?
Hmm, I think, since Python scripts can have their own dependencies, they should be classified as plugins.. and, then if 'scripts' was renamed to 'script-fu', I think that would be a clear distinction. (since the other 'scripting' languages provided also allow a plugin to have it's own dependencies, Script-fu is unique in that it does not permit that. Hence it makes sense to me that Perl, Ruby, Lua based scripts would also go into the plugins section.)

oy, I am reading this here also.
I am not sure why _a_ community (started sorta' yesterday) should get this kind of preferential treatment. I see a lot of gimp forums linking to the brainstorm. why link at all, what service is the brainstorm trying to provide with that?

Hi Peter,
I don´t want to duplicate functionallity. If you think the brainstroming section is not needed I will remove it. The brainstroming worked very well on KDE-Look.org and GNOME-Look.org so I thought it would be a good idea for GIMP too.
About the linking.
My experience with GNOME-Look.org and KDE-Look.org is that it is very stimulating for free software projekts like for example GIMP, to have a community website where users can interact and become contributors and developers. I think this is good for the user- and developer-base of GIMP.
If you don´t want to collaborate it is not a problem for me. My idea was to support the GIMP projekt.
Cheers Frank
