Jehan 93a7e92183 app, libgimp, pdb: clean up some algorithm URLs.
- The "Healing Brush" paper URL is dead. It now leads to one of these
  horrible parasitic websites which reuse domain names. And we for sure
  don't want to promote this! I'm using instead the associated page on
  our developer website. I just created this page and right now it's on
  testing only. But this will be the URL for the main website.
- The URL for the foreground extraction paper is still valid, but from
  my small research today when writing various algorithm' pages, I think
  our own implementation diverged from this original paper (though it
  may still have part of this original paper's algorithm; only a deeper
  check of the code would tell).
  See: https://testing.developer.gimp.org/core/algorithm/foreground-extraction/
  Also this PDB procedure is called generically gimp_drawable_foreground_extract()
  and it even has an argument to choose the algorithm (even though right
  now, there is only a single choice, which is "Matting" algorithm, and
  even there you can't choose which one; it's always Matting Global;
  Matting Levin cannot be chosen for instance).
  So anyway it is not a good idea to point to one specific algorithm,
  and even less to leave an external URL (which may also disappear some
  day) in API docs. So I am just getting rid of this paper title and
  URL, and replace it with actually useful information, which is how to
  set the trimap to represent foreground, background and uncertain
  pixels (note: I notice that it would have been different with Matting
  Levin where uncertain pixels must apparently be set transparent).

                   ------------------------------
                   GNU Image Manipulation Program
                       3.2 Release Candidate
                   ------------------------------

This is a release candidate for upcoming version 3.2.0 of GIMP.
This is not considered stable yet, unless testing tells us it is.
Therefore save your work early and often. If you want a stable
version, please use GIMP 3.0 instead.

If you think you found a bug in this version, please make sure that it
hasn't been reported earlier and report it! We are at the verge of
releasing the next minor version of GIMP, so any report helps.

If you want to hack on GIMP, please read the file devel-docs/README.md.
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 files in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/` (settings.ini and
gtk.css in particular) or by using "themes" (ready-made customizations).
Additionally, GIMP reads `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/3.2/gimp.css` so you
can have settings that only apply to GIMP.

You can also manually change the keybindings to any of your choice by
editing: `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/3.2/shortcutsrc`.
