Hi,

Perhaps it may be better to use the wiki to do the voting
Actually I would like to ask everyone to keep their votes on the art
list. In the first place because I never intended this as a voting round
on the overall, e.g. user, experience, but one on nothing but the
branding, the visual identity. The latter is imho something the art
community is 'responsible' for and I would prefer to keep it like that.

I understand that many people like to think about the visual identity of
the website, also because it involves emotion as well, but this voting
has been preceded by much discussion at the art list, something others
may have missed. Maybe I am a bit rigorous in drawing lines between the
several projects, but I also want to stimulate people to keep the
discussion in a single place. Besides, it is something the people at the
art list have to work with. If, hypothetically speaking, one proposal
wins that is not favoured by those, or most, participating actively in
the art community, where does it leave them? The design of the website
(should) also flows back again into the general branding of all OOo
material (e.g. OOo3) This sub group of marketing has been started, if I
see it correctly, to brand OOo visually. If you heartedly disagree with
the way things are going there, join them, it is not a closed group.
I cc'ed the website-dev group for the simple reason that I wanted to
keep them up to date about the current state of affairs (Louis asked me
to 'lead' the overall website redesign process a bit). Anyhow, politics
aside, if it stays limited to [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ux, I will
be able to do the counting, but I'd like to urge everyone to also
monitor the art mailing list ;)
