Ooh... sounds like fun. ^^ > here is the resource a day page my script makes: > http://carol.gimp.org/blog.html > it is ugly and stupid and was fun to put together. the pattern of the Hah. No kidding... first thing we should have is a "design a resource of the day page layout contest". ^^ > day is not viewable via internet explorer either, a design flaw. Why are you using CSS for the actual pattern: "background-image:url(/gimp2/resources/default/2.3.0-patterns-3D_Green.png)" yet you have <img src="frame.png" alt="frame"></img> for the frame? Wouldn't this make more sense as: "background-image:url(frame.png)" and <img src="/gimp2/resources/default/2.3.0-patterns-3D_Green.png" alt="3D Green" /> ? [BTW, I believe the </img> tag is deprecicated in HTML -- they now suggest <img ... /> as a single standalone tag. But that's another issue entirely, and not really all that important.] > maybe it would be fun to put the contest back up to collect images that > show the different resources in action Sounds like fun, but are we allowed to create resources that aren't made entirely in GIMP (e.g. use an external tool, like POV-Ray) and then use GIMP to make them more resource-like? > and skip the splash 'test until > it looks like a real release is inevitable or whatever they call it. Maybe we should have one or two splashes in ... for lack of a better word, reserve, so that we don't have to be rushed when they come in... or we could hold an extended one (e.g. 1/2 month, 1-2 months) that occurs concurrently with the pattern ones, and then after the release, hold a "regular" one. -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
