I really thought I had that covered reasonably well with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/KyudoGuidelines/Mindset#Education%20and% 20Competency and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/KyudoGuidelines/Mindset#Discussing Artwork At some point I much prefer to work on art myself instead of writing.

A quick check confirms that I'm not alone with defining "optimal" as the best achievable goal. I use that term only to be able to define the goal in one sentence, to immediately follow up with expanding on what optimal shall mean in this context. Maybe the problem is that you think of optimal for a person, whereas what I mean is optimal for the project Ubuntu? > I've read all that sort of thing before: you can find it in the > preface of any good book on management or event planning.

I'm not going to write a book. Obviously no one else either, on this topic. I simply cannot deliver what you seem to want. It seems mean to me that you imply Kyūdō would be useless, because of it being "vague", when things are even more vague without it. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
