as i said, i like the proposal.
i should also say i'm not actively involved in ubuntu-art and so am not in
contact
with it's broader objectives, nor it's (tight) roadmap. i dropped into this
list because
i push Ubuntu in education, and teach FOSS digital-arts/game-development on the
platform.
for this reason my opinions should be kept in context
i see what happens to students faces when the Gimp starts up. if kids say the
Gimp looks
crap and uninspiring then that's one less reason to have Ubuntu (or any free
desktop) on
class computers.
