I still think a much better and useful thing would be to have the old background channels idea from clarkbw, but populated with Free images: http://www.gnome.org/~clarkbw/designs/background-channels/background%20channels.html -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

I don't think so... I really liked Ian's proposal (dig through the archives if you do not know what I am referring to), but people seemed to be generally against it. But basically what I thing we need is: * an easy way to upload images (with info on licensing and various other comments included) * a place to store the images in * a place to preview the images * a system on selecting what goes in/out of the rpm packages (voting?) I think our current setup is suboptimal in most of those points, but I ain't sure how to make it better.
