A link to the online documentation website is definitely needed in there. Also get rid of mentions of mailing lists as still active discussion media.

GNU Image Manipulation Program
|
|
2.99 Development Branch
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is an unstable development release, an intermediate state on the
|
|
way to the next stable release: GIMP 3.0. GIMP 2.99 may or may not do
|
|
what you expect. Save your work early and often. If you want a stable
|
|
version, please use GIMP 2.10 instead.
|
|
|
|
If you think you found a bug in this version, please make sure that it
|
|
hasn't been reported earlier and that it is not just new stuff that is
|
|
still being worked on and obviously not quite finished yet.
|
|
|
|
If you want to hack on GIMP, please read the file devel-docs/README.md.
|
|
For detailed installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.
|
|
|

1. Web Resources
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
GIMP's home page is at:
|
|
|
|
https://www.gimp.org/
|
|
|
|
Please be sure to visit this site for information, documentation,
|
|
tutorials, news, etc. All things GIMP-ish are available from there.
|
|
|
|
The latest version of GIMP can be found at:
|
|
|
|
https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
|
|
|
|
We also have a website dedicated to documentation at:
|
|
|
|
https://docs.gimp.org/
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Contributing
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Resources for contributors:
|

|
3. Discussion Channels
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
We have several discussion channels dedicated to GIMP user and
|
|
development discussion. There is more info at:
|
|
|
|
https://www.gimp.org/discuss.html
|
|
|
|
For the real junkies, there are IRC channels (e.g. #gimp or #gimp-user)
|
|
devoted to GIMP on GIMPNet (a private free software oriented network).
|
|
Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the GIMPNet servers are:
|
|
|
|
irc.gimp.org:6667
|
|
irc.us.gimp.org:6667
|
|
irc.eu.gimp.org:6667
|
|
|
|
More discussion channels, such as forums, will be listed on the above
|
|
"discuss" page when they are moderated by a team member.
|
|
Links to archives of former discussion methods (e.g. mailing lists) are
|
|
also included in that page.
|
|
|
|
4. Customizing
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK+ app
|
|
by editing files in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/` (settings.ini and
|
|
gtk.css in particular) or by using "themes" (ready-made customizations).
|
|
Additionally, GIMP reads `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/gimp.css` so you
|
|
can have settings that only apply to GIMP.
|
|
|
|
You can also manually change the keybindings to any of your choice by
|
|
editing: `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/shortcutsrc`.

Have fun,
