Admin Post: Updated community rules

[jana]

Inkscape, an open source vector graphics editor application, similar to Adobe Illustrator, has been added to the community's domain of interest since users (including myself) have expressed interest in the application (read updated community rules). Of course, we could simply create a community for Inkscape users, but GIMP and Inkscape are very similar in function and performance, and sometimes used complementary. I also agree with foxfirefey -- it's better to contribute to an active community than create a brand new community that wouldn't have as many people.

One thing remains the same, though: users of all levels and experience are welcome here. I'll also create tags for GIMP and Inkscape so that's easier for you to subscribe to specific topics (in case you're not interested in Inkscape related posts).

But what about the community name? Should we stick with gimp_gate, or should we change it to gimpscape (as soon as rename tokens are available)? The latter is, as you probably can see, a combination of GIMP and Inkscape whereas the community's current name only highlights GIMP. What do you think?

Should we change the community name?

No, gimp_gate works just fine.

ImageMagick

I would also be interested in including discussion of the ImageMagick command-line tools, which are very close in spirit, the way they feel to me, to the gimp. Opinions?

I wouldn't mind such discussion - it's open source and definitely related in spirit. I'll add ImageMagick to the interest list on the profile page. It would fall into category "and related topics" (Rule no. 1). I'll create a tag for it as well when needed.

I actually used "gimpscape" when looking for this community in an attempt to bypass looking for it in my profile for a tutorial that was featured here. :D
