What do we want? * Focused discussion (no unfounded one-liners, participants have to have a clue) * A certain level of quality in artwork submissions * Proper email etiquette for efficiency * A chance that other designers at Canonical join in * Be open for newcomers, if they are willing and able to work on our level or to improve until that is the case. For all but the last, I would propose to keep one only-members-can-post list. Making it moderated would provide a point-of-entry, but then we need moderators. What I don't want is to have one list for serious business, while still having to deal with a noisy one. If all of the "inside" group would retreat from a still wide open list, that would mean all others can entertain themselves getting nowhere. Not fair and what a waste. > 3.

Meritocracy and all ... and editing the wiki, nobody stopping me ;) Kenneth decides. -- 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
