GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 149972
Testimonial section
Last modified: 2007-10-25 16:07:50 UTC
It would be great if you could add a testimonial section to your website. That would make it look even more professional and would allow me to rave about how easy it was for me to migrate from Photoshop to your fine application.
Good idea. But in order to start such a section, we should have some testimonials to put on that new page. Starting with an empty page would not be so good, so it would be nice if you could supply some examples. If you have some good testimonials (from yourself or others), please add them to this bug report (as text) or send them to the gimp-web mailing list.
Good point ;-) OK, here is mine: I've been using Photoshop for a year or so professionally editing software-related artwork, and switching to GIMP is a real pleasure. It is more lightweight than PhotoShop, has a friendlier interface, and has all of the key features of Photoshop that I need. I have had no problems importing my PSD files--even ones that contain foreign text, such as Japanese and Russian. After reading the help and a few of the tutorials over the course of a few days, I have a good understanding of how to use GIMP. Photoshop's learning curve far more steep.
Oh, I should mention with my testimonial who I am: Blake Madden Localization Manager StatSoft, inc.
Thanks for your testimonial. We could add a new page for that in the /about/ section. It would be nice to have a couple more, though.
A testimonial page would be lovely to have. We however need to hunt for even more testimonials. Maybe add something to say..."Add your testimonial here" or something on the site? Then have something adding it to the site? Or any other idea?
Yeah, that would be really cool--an interactive testimonial page. A friend of mine started to use GIMP too and she really likes it. I can ask here to post her positive experience too if you would like.
The more testamonials we have the better.. :)
An interactive testimonial page could be nice but it would have to be moderated in some way in order to prevent abuses. A simple solution would be to mention some e-mail address for submitting the testimonials and have some volunteer who collects them and adds them to the web page. Since we haven't collected many testimonials so far, I have just posted a note about this to the gimp-user list (CC gimp-web), suggesting to add new testimonials to this bug report. Let's see what will come out of it in the next few days...
Obviously, nothing happened regarding the testimonials. A few days ago, I added a request for testimonials in the "GIMP Everywhere" page: http://www.gimp.org/about/everywhere.html But I don't think that we should spend much more time on this. If spontaneous submissions of testimonials come, they will be added to the page. If not, then it's just WONTFIX for this bug.
