Hello! This is my first time on this list. I'm a Python developer who's been using git for about a year. I generally like it, but I have several gripes about the GUI. (My development machine is on Windows XP.) Would specifying these criticisms be helpful to you? Best Wishes, Ram Rachum.

No, unless they are specific bug reports. The main problem is that we have too many GUIs, and the "main" ones are in tcl/tk which not many people write. So there's a small developer base for the standard GUI, and the rest prefers to split up and each do their own GUI rather than work on a coordinated project. (I've tried to change that before.)

I don't think the mailing list is the best place for this, that's why I just started a project in SourceForge, so that users can post these kinds of issues in the ideatorrent: https://sourceforge.net/apps/ideatorrent/git-ux/ideatorrent/ I haven't made the announcement yet, but soon :) -- Felipe Contreras

Mailing lists and face to face events are _the_ best places.

A new project is for code. And the existing GUIs need help, your help, in the already existing mailing lists and codebases they have.
, so that users can post these kinds of issues
In a safe place where developers won't read?

How about picking an existing git GUI project you're prepared to help, and... just... help? Code, documentation, screen mockups, graphic art? Is it too... normal? Maybe too... productive? m -- martin.langhoff@gmail.com martin@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff

Wrong approach. First do then ask. Is not so polite but is how it works in real word. :-)
