Yeah, very cool :) Could you make that version number a 3.0 instead of 2.64? Then I'd actually go and print me a t-shirt with it on (if that's not too expensive) -- not that anybody will get the joke, but hey, who cares :) >[...] > Aesthetics is part of our quality of life and if one can use excellent > open source software, why not have a pleasent visual experience with it? > After all, all that this project is about is making other people's life > better, isn't? ACK. KDE (whose Kontact Splash Screen Contest [1,2,3] actually inspired ours in some ways) already has a great community on kde-look.org and I guess within the Mozilla project there most be some great artists, too (judging from their latest artwork compared to former designs). And other projects which I use less frequently probably have a great community, too. Sticking with KDE, they don't only have some great visual artists but with the new default sound scheme in KDE 3.3 [4] the AFAIK first aural contribution by a professional artist to an open source project was done. Which is even more impressive if you know any sound workers personally and how picky they are about their sounds ;-) Cheers, Malte [1] http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=kontact+splash [2] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.pim/10706 [3] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.pim/10012 [4] http://artemio.net/projects/kdevibes/vibes/kde3.3/ -- [SGT] Simon G.
