Hi Berd,
First of all, I am starting a new thread as my call *was for help* in accomplishing urgent tasks and I still want people to read my announcement.
NOW: Please check the Art project website: http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/
The images you see indexed there in the gallery are not from issues. They are in a /galleries/ CVS tree under Marketing.
Some of them were in the past first attached to issues but then committed to CVS.
Indexing in the galleries means giving them a place under CVS and also creating for them a thumbnail and displaying properly with the Author name, license, etc. Is this a good display of anybody's work ?
We are forced to use both methods (CVS and Issues).
Example: How would you collect those more than 300 submissions from external people that were sent for the splashscreen contest ?
I imagine not in the CVS by giving anybody commit access.
Also, for quick tasks to which somebody who just entered the project wants to contribute can produce files that are easier to upload in IZ and then someone else with commit access can move them to CVS.
IZ eliminates the need for exchanging files through emails or mailing lists and this helped us a lot.
A little more inline...

There is. See above.

I understand your point. But in many cases we have only new images to be added to the older ones. And not all people who contribute have commit access.

We do not provide the images directly from IZ. We have those categories. Here are examples: http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/galleries/marketing/logos/ http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/galleries/marketing/web_buttons/ http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/galleries/cdart/ http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/galleries/marketing/web_banners/ http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/galleries/marketing/businesscards/ http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/galleries/marketing/posters/

We know that.
ONE EXAMPLE: You may have one or more versions of the OpenOffice.org logo in which you try to use different free fonts to compare and decide which is the best to use. This simply because the font with which the Logo has been made is not free and we have to experiment.
How can you show these to the project members so that they can take decision ?

They are not. This is just a quick intermediate phase which has the following big advantage:
You only need to be subscribed to the website to contribute.
Also is a working space to which more people can contribute at once and the final work goes in CVS.

They are.
