It would be even better if those galleries could be generated dynamically (like the category pages) but I think they are good enough: we can use static galleries in some cases and categories when needed. Note: I am not opposed to having a stand-alone gallery, be it Gallery2 or something else but I think 1) it should offer the features we need (I am not very convinced Gallery2 offer them, but I have studied it briefly) and 2) if we ask too much from the start we may end getting noting, so small steps are good sometime.

Hi Valent! These menu icons are about 1 to 1,5 years old (so quite new actually), the latest addition to the set itself was about 5 weeks ago. You can see the details here: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-icon-theme/trunk/ (under size/categories) Fixes for them are more than welcome, just file bugs in bugzilla with attached patches. - Andreas To clarify myself, that doesn't mean we haven't been drawing a single pixel in the GNOME Artwork Team the last month. :) Our recent work have been icons and other graphics for Firefox 3, Evolution, Tomboy, Seahorse and Banshee (we fixed rhythmbox already) among others. - Andreas ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

We have over 4,000 attachments that we have no idea what to do with right now. What would be optimum for your team? Would a non-wiki solution work best? Do any of you know of any gallery type plugins for mediawiki? I forgot to talk to you about this - but the gallery2wiki plugin for media wiki looks pretty sweet. It does dynamic galleries based on the tags you add to photos. It seems pretty sweet: http://www.transarte.net/mediawiki/index.php/Gallery2wiki I have used gallery before and it's not bad so I think this might be worth a try? That means also getting a full working Gallery2 instance which we can/would use for other purposes (like wallpaper sharing / GRUB themes sharing and such)? Can't we host the images in Gallery2 and just hotlink them in Mediawiki when needed? How about SVG support in Gallery2? A short research tells me its create thumbnails for SVG with imagemagick, so potentially sub-optimal. On the other hand, in my experience with Wikipedia, the built-in SVG support in Mediawiki (including thumbnailing) is quite good. How does your workflow work for the arts section of the wiki? Does it work for you guys? Do you like it? It's okay for writing up specification style documents eg having inline mockups in a spec or having a list of graphics for one specific purpose (e.g. the release artwork mockups). But sometimes it would be nice to have a galley of all the artwork of a specific style, e.g., to be able to tag all artwork that is a banner and be able to have a dynamic gallery of all banners would be awesome! Or to have one gallery of all the mockups and iterations of one particular piece we're working on would also be helpful. Can't we use for such grouping something like categories in Wikimedia Commons? Something like http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/GNOME - i believe you include the right category markup in the page and it is dynamically included in the category gallery.

That is all the info I needed, thank you Michael. So is there a chance that echo icons get done in time for F9?
