GIMP Gate

Thanks everyone who participated in the poll I'd posted a few weeks ago. I'll leave the poll open so that new members and subscribers can participate as well if they want to, and those of you who have participated can always go back and change your vote. I'd like the poll to exist as a community resource, as a reflection of the community's 'mind & skill state' so to speak...

I'd also like to encourage everyone to post your questions here, no matter how trivial or banal they might appear. This isn't supposed to be a community where only fancy tutorials or other advanced topics are 'worthy' of posting. You're a beginner and don't know where to start? Ask! You've seen this beautiful header but have no idea how to achieve a similar effect? Ask! Really, there are no 'stupid' questions, and snarky, rude or sarcastic comments will not be tolerated here. Just saying :)

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?
