But soon, we should really get an act together. I'm going to try and start up a process for deliberating on artwork, in a process influenced by how the LibreOffice guys handled this process. Confluence looks like it's quite advanced and/or fancy, so this may be easy to manage.We would most likely be starting off with a general motif for everything, then eventually building stuff that fits off this motif in an integrated and sensible manner. I also do have some motif ideas that I'll contribute too.
