Sorry I don't have time to reply to all the points you made in that post Ivan,
but overall, I strongly agree with your (and Bernhard's) proposal to make Art
into something more integrally a part of the OOo project.
Right now I get the feeling the "Art" project is considered more of a source of
"Fan art" for the OOo product and that "Visual Identity" is where people go to
get the serious stuff done (Branding, UI). I honestly don't see why that is. I
can add, personally, that I would definitely prefer to be involved in a project
involved in ALL graphic areas of OOo. So whether you all see this as either;
1. Closer interaction with the other projects
2. Creation of a new and more diverse project
3. Merger with the other graphic projects
I'm for any of these proposals of it means one location for all graphic work
and a more visible contribution from the COMMUNITY into the product.
In the next few weeks I'll be working intensively on my thesis and may not be
able to respond quickly.
Please don't take this as a sign of disinterest. On the contrary, I couldn't be
more excited by the things you're both proposing.
As soon as my other obligations are over, I'll be looking to inject a healthy
dose of Design contribution across all areas of OOo.
(I've had quite a few ideas brewing for OOo and not enough time to enact any of
them)
I hope your actions in the next few weeks mean that our contributions to OOo
can be extended into the branding and UI too.
Thanks to Graham, Ivan and Sebastien for the logo feedback!
-Nik
