The first step would be to put it all in launchpad so that others have access to it (without being able to directly mess everything up). Packaging the pieces is really not too hard as we have existing themes we can edit. Mainly, it comes down to putting the right names in the right files and tweaking a few color values here and there but if you've never done it it might seem confusing. Cory and I have both offered our help so it shouldn't be a problem. If we have two teams which need to get their stuff packaged we can set a time and go through the process online together. As for getting the packages in Ubuntu, there are two possibilities: 1) the package is available in main and installed by default. I would like to replace the gnome-themes package with an ubuntu themes package. The main difference would be replacing the older, outdated themes with the results of the theme teams. 2) the package is available in main The theme is not installed by default but is easily installable without having to add any repository to apt. Although I would prefer option 1, I cannot promise it will happen as there might be other issues beyond my knowledge. -- Ken -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
