+ ------------------------------
+ GNU Image Manipulation Program
+ 2.10 Stable Branch
+ ------------------------------
+
+This is a stable release in the GIMP 2.10 series.
+
+GIMP 2.10 replaces earlier GIMP 2.x versions. It is advised that you
+uninstall them before installing GIMP 2.10. If you want to keep your
+older GIMP 2.x installation in parallel to GIMP 2.10, you have to
+choose a separate prefix which is not in your default library search
+path. Otherwise your previous GIMP installation will start to use the
+new libraries. You have been warned.
+
+If you think you found a bug in this version, please make sure that it
+hasn't been reported earlier and that it is not just new stuff that is
+still being worked on and obviously not quite finished yet.
+
+If you want to hack on GIMP, please read the file HACKING. For
+detailed installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.
+
+
+1. Web Resources
+================
+
+GIMP's home page is at:
+
+ https://www.gimp.org/
+
+Please be sure to visit this site for information, documentation,
+tutorials, news, etc. All things GIMP-ish are available from there.
+
+The latest version of GIMP can be found at:
+
+ https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
+
+We also have a website dedicated to documentation at:
+
+ https://docs.gimp.org/
+
+
+2. Contributing
+===============
+
+GIMP source code can be found at:
+
+ https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/
+
+Resources for contributors:
+
+ https://developer.gimp.org/
+
+In particular, you may want to look in the "Core Development" section. Some
+articles of particular interest for newcomers could be:
+
+* Setting up your developer environment: https://developer.gimp.org/core/setup/
+* GIMP Coding Style: https://developer.gimp.org/core/coding_style/
+* Submit your first patch: https://developer.gimp.org/core/submit-patch/
+
+
+3. Discussion Channels
+======================
+
+We have several discussion channels dedicated to GIMP user and
+development discussion. There is more info at:
+
+ https://www.gimp.org/discuss.html
+
+For the real junkies, there are IRC channels (e.g. #gimp or #gimp-user)
+devoted to GIMP on GIMPNet (a private free software oriented network).
+Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the GIMPNet servers are:
+
+ irc.gimp.org:6667
+ irc.us.gimp.org:6667
+ irc.eu.gimp.org:6667
+
+More discussion channels, such as forums, will be listed on the above
+"discuss" page when they are moderated by a team member.
+Links to archives of former discussion methods (e.g. mailing lists) are
+also included in that page.
+
+
+4. Customizing
+==============
+
+The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK app
+by editing the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file or by using "themes" (ready-made
+customizations). For downloadable themes and further details, see
+http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2 . Additionally, GIMP reads the file
+~/.config/GIMP/2.10/gtkrc so you can have settings that only apply to GIMP.
+
+Included is a set of keybindings similar to those in Adobe Photoshop.
+You can find them in the ps-menurc file. To use them, copy this file
+to ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/menurc. You can also manually change the keybindings
+to any of your choice by editing ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/menurc.
+
+
+Have fun,
