I have noticed a lot of discussion by this art team about wallpapers. Why? Its not like most people who change wallpapers are going to not be looking for good ones on the internet, its a moot point.
Instead we need to focus on fonts, icons, and themes. I have posted 2 wikis, yet limited discussion has been created. The reason things dont happen, and the reason there isnt more asked of the art team is because we have never done anything for the most part. We talk - and talk- and talk- yet no action is taken. This is how things will work. I have talked with Ken and Mark, and they made suggestions and agree with this. 1) We will work together as a community. 2) Wikis will be used to display ideas. 3) Guidelines will be used to help streamline the process. They can be changed. 4) Deadlines must be set. 5) More community involvement must happen. So lets get started! Fonts - there are several option listed in the wiki. We need to make a decision by the end of the month. Research licenses, usable, readability, and international compliance. Icons - This is a big challenge. Some guidelines have been posted but more discussion needs to be generated then needs to be acted on. Theme - This needs to be worked on together. A set of guidelines will be produced, but for now, how about on the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/Ubuntu_8.10_Theme_-_Art_Team So lets get started! I encourage you to spread the word near and far to all Gnome users - on all distros to help if they would. We will create a user interface experience to set the gold standard, to put it in Mark's words.
