I think something like a DeviantArt group (if they exist? Inkscape used them for their splash screen contests) should be set up alongside the Flickr group, so we don't lose the ability to quickly mark a photo on flickr as suitable, but also don't lower the barrier of entry. -- Andrew Wednesday, 18th November 2009 -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
