I'd be interested in a GIMP tutorial.  I'd got frustrated trying to do
one simple drawing-on-a-picture with GIMP some time ago and switched
to Inkscape instead.  I have been thinking of taking another charge at
the learning curve, and can probably think of things to request.
Best,
Quirk
P.S. Many things that are easy in one n00b's perspective are
frustrating in another's, you know (take it from a mathematician in a
communicative department :)).
