- haunter 3y agoYes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp
- tristan957 3y agoThat doesn't actually mean much. See the sibling comment.
- lallysingh 3y agoGnome's toolkit, gtk, originated as the toolkit the gimp folks wrote to get off of Motif a long time ago. Since then the Gs have had reassigned meanings.
- asoneth 3y agoSort of. It was part of GNU, now it's sponsored by the GNOME Foundation, but I don't think it is considered a "GNOME App". As per https://discourse.gnome.org/t/relation-between-gimp-and-gnome/2376 https://discourse.gnome.org/t/relation-between-gimp-and-gnom...: "The GNOME Foundation provides the GNU Image Manipulation Program community and developers with services like fiscal sponsorship, technical infrastructure, promotion, and copyright assignment." However, it's not considered a GNOME "Core App" or even a "Circle App" (see https://apps.gnome.org/ https://apps.gnome.org/) and I believe that it doesn't attempt to follow the GNOME guidelines or have any GNOME designers/developers working on it.
- ColonelPhantom 3y agoGNOME originally stood for GNU Network Object Model Environment, so both G's are in some pedantic sense the same. I don't think there's a very close relationship between GNOME and GIMP, but do keep in mind that GTK, the 'defining' part of GNOME, originated in GIMP (Gimp ToolKit!)
