So, I'm currently poking at the main page for the WGO redesign. I had mentioned in a previous mail the product vision from the vision briefing whose main points concerning the product vision were:

A. HIgh-end photo manipulation B. Creating original art.
C. Production elements (graphical design) D. Programming algorithms.

Alexandre mentioned that there were some complaints about tasks specifically relevant to desktop publishing not being mentioned in the vision.

I am looking for any input if anyone would like to offer some on the verbiage of a few key places on the site right now (http://static.gimp.org).

First, the introductory text in the very first section after the name, Wilber, and a download link. It currently reads:

=== ## The Free & Open Source Image Editor

This is the official GIMP website. GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is the Free and Open Source, cross platform image editor available for GNU/Linux, OS X, Windows and more. It contains information about downloading, installing, using, and enhancing it. This site also serves as a distribution point for the latest releases. We try to provide as much information about the GIMP community and related projects as possible. Hopefully you will find what you need here. Grab a properly chilled beverage and enjoy... ===

I feel that it gets the most important points up front (official site, GIMP is an acronym..., cross platform, image editor). Are there other points that need to be made in that first introductory paragraph?

The next few sections I had broken out to hopefully address/illustrate each of the vision statement points. I can use any input for those sections as well if anyone has thoughts:

=== ## High Quality Photo Manipulation

GIMP provides the tools for needed for high quality image manipulation. From retouching to restoring to creative composites, the only limit is your imagination.
===

and (A big thanks to David Revoy for allowing use of some of his images),

=== ## Original Artwork Creation

I have nothing for this section yet to address original artwork creation. ===

I still have to make:

=== ## Production Elements (graphical design?) ===

===
## Programming algorithms (i seriously have no idea what to put here) ===

I think it might be nice to also include something to place GIMP within the context of a F/OSS workflow for multiple use-cases, photography, web production design, and desktop publishing - I'm still thinking on this.

So, anyone care to unleash their inner marketing-Hemingway? Otherwise I'm going to take my best guess at things and just hope I don't screw up too bad... (I just realized that almost my entire life can be described in that one sentence... :) ).

Hi Joao!

Awesome! Yes, I will ping you later this week to remind you. :)

Hi Pat !

Thank you for the effort you are putting into this. I myself am busy to take a careful luck now - but a far as I can see you are taking the right decisions.

Would you mind pinging me later this week? I think I can come up with some text for
the "programing algorithms" part.

Regards,

Joao,

First, hope you had a Happy Birthday this week!

Second - I'm pinging you about the "programming algorithms" text... :)
