&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;essentially&nbsp;a&nbsp;[Web]&nbsp;interface&nbsp;to&nbsp;much&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;Gimp's&nbsp;functionality.&nbsp;It&nbsp;is&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
very&nbsp;high&nbsp;level,
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with&nbsp;a&nbsp;visual&nbsp;interface&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;editing&nbsp;operations.&nbsp;Notions&nbsp;such&nbsp;as&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
transparency,
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;selections,&nbsp;and&nbsp;layers&nbsp;are&nbsp;hidden.&nbsp;The&nbsp;target&nbsp;date&nbsp;for&nbsp;a&nbsp;working&nbsp;demo&nbsp;is&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
&quot;soon.&quot;&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LinuxWorld:&nbsp;How&nbsp;much&nbsp;has&nbsp;the&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;grown&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;last&nbsp;year&nbsp;and&nbsp;a&nbsp;half,&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
relative&nbsp;to
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;where&nbsp;you&nbsp;left&nbsp;off?&nbsp;How&nbsp;long&nbsp;has&nbsp;it&nbsp;taken&nbsp;the&nbsp;new&nbsp;maintainers&nbsp;to&nbsp;learn&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
their&nbsp;way
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;around&nbsp;your&nbsp;code,&nbsp;and&nbsp;how&nbsp;are&nbsp;they&nbsp;doing&nbsp;nowadays?&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kimball:&nbsp;Since&nbsp;we&nbsp;stopped&nbsp;new&nbsp;development&nbsp;at&nbsp;version&nbsp;0.99.10,&nbsp;the&nbsp;Gimp
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;development&nbsp;community&nbsp;focused&nbsp;almost&nbsp;exclusively&nbsp;on&nbsp;stability.&nbsp;As&nbsp;of&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
release&nbsp;1.0,
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;looks&nbsp;almost&nbsp;identical&nbsp;to&nbsp;0.99.10&nbsp;in&nbsp;terms&nbsp;of&nbsp;core&nbsp;features.&nbsp;New&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
features
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;are&nbsp;now&nbsp;being&nbsp;added,&nbsp;as&nbsp;I&nbsp;understand,&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;unstable&nbsp;development&nbsp;source&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
tree
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;released&nbsp;in&nbsp;time.&nbsp;I'm&nbsp;not&nbsp;sure&nbsp;how&nbsp;long&nbsp;it&nbsp;took&nbsp;the&nbsp;new&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
maintainers&nbsp;to
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;learn&nbsp;their&nbsp;way&nbsp;around&nbsp;the&nbsp;code,&quot;&nbsp;but&nbsp;judging&nbsp;by&nbsp;the&nbsp;stability&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
product,&nbsp;they
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;seem&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;doing&nbsp;quite&nbsp;well.&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mattis:&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;has&nbsp;stabilized&nbsp;immensely.&nbsp;The&nbsp;0.99&nbsp;version&nbsp;had&nbsp;quite&nbsp;a&nbsp;few&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
stability
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;problems&nbsp;and&nbsp;some&nbsp;of&nbsp;them&nbsp;were&nbsp;due&nbsp;to&nbsp;design&nbsp;issues.&nbsp;The&nbsp;new&nbsp;maintainers
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;started&nbsp;slowly&nbsp;and&nbsp;there&nbsp;was&nbsp;a&nbsp;down&nbsp;period&nbsp;where&nbsp;there&nbsp;wasn't&nbsp;a&nbsp;lot&nbsp;of&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
obvious
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;development.&nbsp;Nowadays&nbsp;it&nbsp;looks&nbsp;like&nbsp;they&nbsp;are&nbsp;doing&nbsp;great.&nbsp;The&nbsp;best&nbsp;thing&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
about&nbsp;the
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;is&nbsp;that&nbsp;it&nbsp;works.&nbsp;Yes,&nbsp;there&nbsp;are&nbsp;design&nbsp;mistakes,&nbsp;but&nbsp;a&nbsp;lot&nbsp;(probably&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
all)&nbsp;of
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;those&nbsp;were&nbsp;due&nbsp;to&nbsp;inexperience.&nbsp;You&nbsp;get&nbsp;experience&nbsp;by&nbsp;trying&nbsp;and,&nbsp;at&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
times,&nbsp;failing.
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;mistake&nbsp;to&nbsp;expect&nbsp;to&nbsp;get&nbsp;a&nbsp;design&nbsp;correct&nbsp;the&nbsp;first&nbsp;time.&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm&nbsp;impressed&nbsp;that&nbsp;the&nbsp;current&nbsp;maintainers&nbsp;have&nbsp;kept&nbsp;an&nbsp;open&nbsp;mind&nbsp;and&nbsp;have&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
been
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;willing&nbsp;to&nbsp;change&nbsp;fundamental&nbsp;decisions&nbsp;because&nbsp;those&nbsp;decisions&nbsp;were&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
flawed.&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LinuxWorld:&nbsp;What&nbsp;percentage&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;and&nbsp;Gtk&nbsp;code&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;0.99.10&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
release
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;was&nbsp;written&nbsp;by&nbsp;you?&nbsp;How&nbsp;would&nbsp;you&nbsp;characterize&nbsp;the&nbsp;changes&nbsp;to&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;and&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
Gtk
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;since&nbsp;then?&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kimball:&nbsp;Probably&nbsp;95&nbsp;to&nbsp;98&nbsp;percent&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;code&nbsp;in&nbsp;0.99.10&nbsp;was&nbsp;written&nbsp;by&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
Pete&nbsp;or
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;myself.&nbsp;The&nbsp;major&nbsp;exception&nbsp;was&nbsp;the&nbsp;code&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;Fabulous&nbsp;Gradient&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
Editor,
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;contributed&nbsp;by&nbsp;Federico&nbsp;Mena&nbsp;Quintero.&nbsp;As&nbsp;I&nbsp;mentioned&nbsp;above,&nbsp;the&nbsp;changes&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
to
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;and&nbsp;Gtk&nbsp;seem&nbsp;to&nbsp;have&nbsp;focused&nbsp;on&nbsp;stability&nbsp;and&nbsp;are&nbsp;now&nbsp;turning&nbsp;to
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;incorporating&nbsp;new&nbsp;features.&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mattis:&nbsp;Spencer&nbsp;did&nbsp;much&nbsp;more&nbsp;work&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;proper&nbsp;while&nbsp;I&nbsp;did&nbsp;much&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
more&nbsp;on
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gtk.&nbsp;This&nbsp;provided&nbsp;a&nbsp;fairly&nbsp;clean&nbsp;break&nbsp;that&nbsp;allowed&nbsp;us&nbsp;to&nbsp;work&nbsp;in&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
parallel&nbsp;fairly
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;easily.&nbsp;I&nbsp;probably&nbsp;wrote&nbsp;95&nbsp;percent&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;original&nbsp;Gtk&nbsp;code.&nbsp;The&nbsp;only&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
widgets&nbsp;I
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;didn't&nbsp;write&nbsp;were&nbsp;the&nbsp;file-selection&nbsp;widget,&nbsp;the&nbsp;text&nbsp;widget,&nbsp;and&nbsp;the&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
rulers.&nbsp;I'm&nbsp;not
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;sure&nbsp;how&nbsp;much&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;original&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;code&nbsp;was&nbsp;mine.&nbsp;There,&nbsp;I&nbsp;mostly&nbsp;worked&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
on&nbsp;the
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;plug-in&nbsp;architecture.&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Of&nbsp;course,&nbsp;according&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;copyrights,&nbsp;Spencer&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;wrote&nbsp;all&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
Gimp&nbsp;and
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gtk.&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;changes&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;and&nbsp;Gtk&nbsp;since&nbsp;I&nbsp;worked&nbsp;on&nbsp;them&nbsp;are&nbsp;basically
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;indistinguishable&nbsp;from&nbsp;how&nbsp;I&nbsp;would&nbsp;have&nbsp;done&nbsp;it.&nbsp;I'll&nbsp;admit&nbsp;that&nbsp;there&nbsp;has&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
been&nbsp;a&nbsp;lot
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;more&nbsp;thought&nbsp;going&nbsp;into&nbsp;changes&nbsp;and&nbsp;new&nbsp;features&nbsp;than&nbsp;I&nbsp;originally&nbsp;made.&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LinuxWorld:&nbsp;How&nbsp;much&nbsp;time&nbsp;did&nbsp;you&nbsp;invest&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;Gimp?&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mattis:&nbsp;I&nbsp;have&nbsp;no&nbsp;idea.&nbsp;A&nbsp;lot?&nbsp;Anything&nbsp;I&nbsp;answer&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;wrong.&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kimball:&nbsp;I&nbsp;spent&nbsp;the&nbsp;better&nbsp;part&nbsp;of&nbsp;two&nbsp;years&nbsp;on
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the&nbsp;Gimp,&nbsp;typically&nbsp;at&nbsp;the&nbsp;expense&nbsp;of&nbsp;other
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;pressing&nbsp;obligations&nbsp;(school,&nbsp;work,&nbsp;life).&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Heading&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;right&nbsp;direction
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LinuxWorld:&nbsp;In&nbsp;what&nbsp;ways&nbsp;do&nbsp;you&nbsp;feel&nbsp;it's&nbsp;most
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;important&nbsp;for&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;to&nbsp;improve?&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mattis:&nbsp;I&nbsp;think&nbsp;the&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;needs&nbsp;to&nbsp;expand&nbsp;its
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;use&nbsp;of&nbsp;plug-ins&nbsp;to&nbsp;basically&nbsp;make&nbsp;almost
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;everything&nbsp;a&nbsp;plug-in.&nbsp;Spencer&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;talked
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;about&nbsp;this,&nbsp;but&nbsp;we&nbsp;didn't&nbsp;know&nbsp;how&nbsp;to&nbsp;implement&nbsp;it&nbsp;properly.&nbsp;Basically,&nbsp;I&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
think&nbsp;Gimp
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;should&nbsp;just&nbsp;be&nbsp;a&nbsp;program&nbsp;for&nbsp;displaying&nbsp;images&nbsp;and&nbsp;providing&nbsp;some&nbsp;basic
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;functionality.&nbsp;Everything&nbsp;else,&nbsp;painting,&nbsp;toolbars,&nbsp;etcetera,&nbsp;should&nbsp;be&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
provided&nbsp;by
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;plug-ins.&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;great&nbsp;thing&nbsp;about&nbsp;plug-ins&nbsp;is&nbsp;that&nbsp;they&nbsp;allow&nbsp;people&nbsp;to&nbsp;add&nbsp;to&nbsp;a&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
program&nbsp;without
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;understanding&nbsp;all&nbsp;the&nbsp;nitty-gritty&nbsp;details&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;program.&nbsp;They&nbsp;enforce&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
modularity.&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kimball:&nbsp;I'm&nbsp;incredibly&nbsp;happy&nbsp;with&nbsp;the&nbsp;direction&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;and&nbsp;Gtk&nbsp;have&nbsp;taken,&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
and&nbsp;its
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;newfound&nbsp;stability&nbsp;has&nbsp;made&nbsp;my&nbsp;life&nbsp;easy.&nbsp;But,&nbsp;if&nbsp;you've&nbsp;read&nbsp;any&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
criticism&nbsp;of
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;in&nbsp;recent&nbsp;press,&nbsp;you&nbsp;already&nbsp;know&nbsp;the&nbsp;most&nbsp;obvious&nbsp;area&nbsp;where&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
improvement
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is&nbsp;required:&nbsp;pre-press&nbsp;work.&nbsp;This&nbsp;is&nbsp;something&nbsp;I&nbsp;know&nbsp;nothing&nbsp;about&nbsp;and&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
didn't&nbsp;have
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;time&nbsp;to&nbsp;learn.&nbsp;In&nbsp;fact,&nbsp;when&nbsp;Pete&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;decided&nbsp;to&nbsp;initiate&nbsp;the&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
project,&nbsp;I&nbsp;knew
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;absolutely&nbsp;nothing&nbsp;about&nbsp;image&nbsp;manipulation&nbsp;programs.&nbsp;In&nbsp;fact,&nbsp;I&nbsp;had&nbsp;only&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
seen
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Photoshop&nbsp;being&nbsp;used&nbsp;once&nbsp;before&nbsp;during&nbsp;my&nbsp;freshman&nbsp;year&nbsp;at&nbsp;Berkeley.&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
Some
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;deviant&nbsp;was&nbsp;attempting&nbsp;--&nbsp;with&nbsp;remarkable&nbsp;success&nbsp;--&nbsp;to&nbsp;remove&nbsp;Cindy&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
Crawford's
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;bikini&nbsp;using&nbsp;the&nbsp;clone&nbsp;tool.&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LinuxWorld:&nbsp;Was&nbsp;there&nbsp;anything&nbsp;special&nbsp;about&nbsp;the&nbsp;Berkeley&nbsp;XCF&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
(experimental
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;computing&nbsp;facility)&nbsp;environment&nbsp;that&nbsp;helped&nbsp;you&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;so&nbsp;productive?&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mattis:&nbsp;Not&nbsp;really.&nbsp;Very&nbsp;little&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;development&nbsp;I&nbsp;did&nbsp;occurred&nbsp;at&nbsp;the&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
XCF.&nbsp;Most&nbsp;of&nbsp;it
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;occurred&nbsp;on&nbsp;my&nbsp;home&nbsp;machine&nbsp;and&nbsp;the&nbsp;lab&nbsp;machines&nbsp;at&nbsp;Berkeley.&nbsp;This&nbsp;is&nbsp;true&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
for
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Spencer&nbsp;as&nbsp;well.&nbsp;I'm&nbsp;not&nbsp;bashing&nbsp;the&nbsp;XCF,&nbsp;but&nbsp;it&nbsp;didn't&nbsp;really&nbsp;provide&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
much&nbsp;direct
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;support&nbsp;for&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;development.&nbsp;
&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kimball:&nbsp;The&nbsp;XCF&nbsp;environment&nbsp;helped&nbsp;me&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;markedly&nbsp;less&nbsp;productive&nbsp;than&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
I
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;otherwise&nbsp;would&nbsp;have&nbsp;been.&nbsp;Luckily,&nbsp;I&nbsp;derived&nbsp;more&nbsp;satisfaction&nbsp;from&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
contributing&nbsp;to
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the&nbsp;free&nbsp;software&nbsp;movement&nbsp;than&nbsp;from&nbsp;playing&nbsp;Quake;&nbsp;otherwise,&nbsp;there&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
wouldn't
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;have&nbsp;been&nbsp;a&nbsp;Gimp&nbsp;version&nbsp;past&nbsp;0.6.&nbsp;Still,&nbsp;the&nbsp;XCF&nbsp;was&nbsp;a&nbsp;cool&nbsp;place&nbsp;to&nbsp;work&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
and
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;share&nbsp;ideas.&nbsp;Other&nbsp;members&nbsp;helped&nbsp;refine&nbsp;ideas&nbsp;and&nbsp;in&nbsp;some&nbsp;cases&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
contribute
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;their&nbsp;particular&nbsp;expertise&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;project.&nbsp;Josh&nbsp;MacDonald,&nbsp;author&nbsp;of&nbsp;PRCS,&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
wrote
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the&nbsp;Gtk&nbsp;text&nbsp;widget.&nbsp;Ali&nbsp;Rahimi,&nbsp;another&nbsp;XCFer,&nbsp;contributed&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;project&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
by
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;authoring&nbsp;the&nbsp;&quot;Gimp&nbsp;sucks&quot;&nbsp;page,&nbsp;which&nbsp;enjoyed&nbsp;limited&nbsp;success&nbsp;in&nbsp;its&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
mission&nbsp;to
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;deflate&nbsp;the&nbsp;combined&nbsp;S&amp;P&nbsp;[Spencer&nbsp;and&nbsp;Peter]&nbsp;ego.&nbsp;
