There were people who wanted to use Ubuntu to target different audiences so without changing what they were the found a way to cooperate and make Kubuntu and Edubuntu happen. Different ideas but still part of Ubuntu. > can you expand on this please? See above, if you need more you will need to explain more clearly.

This question does not make sense to me. I did not target the gimp, I did not even start this discussion. All I am really asking is for developers to consider the possibility of making it easier to rebrand custom versions of the gimp for different audiences. Is there not something a little bit more that can be done for those who have issue with the name? > thanks for your continued effort to do this important thing... ??? -- Alan _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
