Admin Post: It's poll time

[jana]

I think it's high time to get to know each other a little bit, that is, how you use GIMP and/or Inkscape, how much you know about these tools etc. This makes it also easier for everyone involved to know what you would like to see here. For instance, making a tutorial is always a bit of a shot in the dark if you don't know anything about the people who watch this community. So, don't be shy and talk to us :)

I use GIMP and Photoscape for icon and fanart stuff. So far I've been successful enough but I still have some issues with text icons.

I can't say how often I would participate in challenges but I do like the idea of people posting things they've done with GIMP/Inkscape and letting others ask questions. IDK, maybe every two weeks.
