Terminating gimpwin-dev...

As has been suggested a long time ago, the gimpwin-dev list really
doesn't serve much purpose as a separate list any longer. It's name
seems to indicate that it's for discussion about developing GIMP on
Windows, but actually very little GIMP-specific discussion has been
taking place.

Most of the discussion is about GTK application development (which has
been OK, per se), but as Windows is an officially supported GTK
platform, there really isn't any reason why such discussion couldn't
take place on the real GTK lists. Ditto for GIMP topics, they can well
be on the real GIMP developer or user lists.

Bug reports about GTK are better served by posting to
bugzilla.gnome.org.

So, I'll close this list now. I'll just prevent anybody from posting
and new people from joining; the archives will stay on yahoogroups,
hopefully (or do they have some kind of automatic purging of groups
that seem inactive?).

Please subscribe to one or several of the following lists instead. See
the mentioned web pages for subscription info.

  This is the main mailing list, and probably the one you should ask
  questions about GTK+. The topic of this list is general topics
  related to GTK+, including everything from discussion of proposed
  new features to questions about compiling GTK+.

- [email protected]

  Discussion on this list is oriented toward developing applications
  with GTK+. This has been a lower traffic list which is good for
  asking simple GTK+ questions.

- [email protected]

  This list is for developers of GTK+ to discuss code. General GTK+
  questions should not be asked on this list, as that is more
  appropriate for gtk-list. Requests for new features should not be
  sent to this list, as that is also more appropriate for gtk-list.
