>From the README:

This is release 1.0.0 of the GIMP User's Manual (GUM).  This is the
first stable release of the manual, a product of almost a year of
work. It is available in HTML, PS, PDF and FM (FrameMaker) source
code. Please read COPYING for the license terms of the manual.

The manual is about 590 pages long and there have been several
imporvments over previous versions.  Be sure to pay special attention
to the new Gallery chaper which contains many nice images and a hints
on how to make them. The Gallery is a good example of what you can do
with the GIMP. All images in the manual is 100% pure GIMP images.


I have a old version of it, from last Feb, which was fairly good. The
latest is from June 5th. One of the these days I'll find the time to
sit down and actually learn how to use the thing :)
