GIMP Committee decisions

This is where the GIMP Committee will discuss various topics and take decisions when its consent is required.

The role of the Committee is essentially to manage GIMP funds in order to support the project activities, development, and globally to allow GIMP to thrive.

In particular, the Committee has no (and should not have any) power over development decisions. The GIMP project is still fully developed by its community, as it has always been.
