Tagging as such, does seem like a good idea. I'll discuss it with my LP 
colleagues.

Some of the bugs already accepted might fall into this project as well.

I like the idea of using tags more. I'm sure there must be quite a few
bugs out there that someone of this list could resolve, but you just
don't know how to find them. The key is to actually get others to use
the "needs-artwork" tag though. There only seems to be one bug using
the tag so far:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=needs-artwork

We should probably make an announcement to the bug-squad mailing list.

Perhaps we should see if we can make it an "official tag."

http://blog.launchpad.net/cool-new-stuff/official-bug-tags

I don't have any idea who actually has the power to do such a thing though...

I think that a prerequisite is to define the entire process very carefully and 
to have a base of commited people to help balance the load.

Essentially it would be creating a bug which is a "wish". I like the idea of 
using a bug tracker because the infrastructure is already there: there is a 
status, explanations, attachments, people can subscribe, etc.

Right, this idea would be for the future.

[ubuntu-art] Ubuntu art requests page?

2009-07-13 Thread Mads Rosendahl
Hi
It seems the activity on this thread has died.
To move this project forward, I would like to setup the ArtRequests
wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ArtRequests). If anyone wants to
create the wiki page, I will be more than happy to pass the task on. I
will suggest that we use the Gnome artrequests page as base for the
layout, and add a #bug columns. Anyone got ideas for improvements?

How do we do this requests done via launchpad bugs? Are bugs tagged,
like "needs-artwork"?

Great idea to team up with the One hundred paper cuts project, but
isn't it closed now for this cycle?

I think this ArtRequests wiki is working out fantastically for Gnome
(Fedora also has something similar) and I think Ubuntu could benefit
from a project like this.
Like Kenneth said,  Ideas? Critic? Interested in working on this? Let us know!

First thing to do is to read all the info on the wiki page(s). 
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork and the pages linked from their should give you 
a feel for what is going on. Naturally, we are working towards our next 
release; so anything concerning that is on the front burner.

Oh, and you probably don't know it, but you should answer emails with your 
response below the quoted message ;) It is considered rude to "top-post" 
(google might explain more).

I really like this idea, and I already thought about doing something like
this for Breathe when we finish the set.

I did not even know this page existed for gnome. It would fit rather 
well into papercuts, However, I dont really know how to do much on 
launchpad, other than report bugs. Hell, I barely know enough to edit 
the wiki. I am sure there are others like me. would we still be able to 
contribute?

I think it would be a great idea, if we really commit ourselves to solving the 
problems, listening to advice and trying to move forward as a group. This is 
another chance for us to prove ourselves. I suggest that the requests are done 
via launchpad bugs (we already have a lot!) and that we perhaps look into 
coupling this with one hundred paper cuts project.

Ideas? Critic? Interested in working on this? Let us know!

[ubuntu-art] Ubuntu art requests page?

2009-07-03 Thread Mads Rosendahl
Hi
Do you guys think Ubuntu should have a wiki page like the Gnome art
request page? http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/ArtRequests

The page exists to keep track of all the artwork and design requests
the art-team gets. This is great both for artists looking for a
project, and developers looking for artwork.
