Re: Penguin Producer Redesign

maybe there's something I'm not aware of that would be beneficial for beginners into the media landscape? I don't know about the broader media landscape, particularly. As far as the Linux landscape is concerned, then tutorials on how to migrate from Photoshop to GIMP/Glimpse would be really useful,...

Re: Penguin Producer Redesign

Why bother when most of that information is out-of-date? The same reasons that Linux distros keep earlier versions available for download, and Wikipedia keeps its page history available to view.
