This seems unfortunate. A wiki is a place where people can interact with a low entry level. The wiki pages are a invitation to the community and today a first choice for open source related community interaction. Unlike the email lists, CinePaint's wiki has a shadow visibility. In other words the community stays far away from perception on the www pages. This is obvious with most wiki edits coming from developers. Other projects have often non developing people dedicated to documentation, tutorials ... Putting a link to the wiki in the top list of www.cinepaint.org/index.html would IMHO be an improvement. > This is not a great system.
