I've been busy with other projects and not updating the ODP directory with new Painter links, but just logged in to perform some quick maintenance of the links to find that about a third of the Painter links have been unlinked because a senior editor thought they belonged in a different category. By that editor's logic, the bulk of the remaining links can likewise be moved to other places in the ODP directory where Painter users would likely never find them. I've asked, in the past, that they create a duplicate link in the category, that they think the link should be in, instead of deleting a valid Painter resource from the Painter listings.

Eventually, I'll update my personal website and put all the links there, but that's a project that I won't get to for months. If anybody wants to ensure that they don't miss out on any of the Painter tutorial links I found, go to the site and click File/Save to save a copy of the links to your hard drive. That way, those links can be checked at leisure without worry of any more disappearing. I haven't added any new ones in months, and after this round of editor changes, won't be adding any to the ODP site. I have no idea when another editorial review will wipe out more links, but it's best for users to save them while they can. Three links were removed after the first editorial review and an additional 29 were unlinked this time around. I'd already saved the links the last time I added a bunch, so I've still got all the links I found. Putting them on a personal website won't happen for many, many months.
