Kind of pushing the deadlines on everything, but if we need to, I don't see why we couldn't make this work if we bust our butts. Not a lot seems to be off with the mockup you just sent. Máirín Duffy wrote: Hi folks, I've received a few complaints about the f9 wallpaper (it seems the sulphur

Another thing to consider is the fact that due to feedback, we redid the wallpaper and didn't use any instances of sulfur crystals. It was a last minute thing that has happened quickly. Martin Sourada wrote: On Sun, 2008-04-13 at 11:21 +0200, Giacomo Succi wrote: I know that I disappear

Posted to both the art and the website list, though it's on the artwork wiki. With help from ricky, we have figured out a relatively easy way to get screenshots of our login screen and RHGB. Hopefully, with a bit of testing, we can confirm that it works with other areas of the boot process.

How about uploading scaled down images to the wiki to show there, and uploading the full sized images to fedorapeople and providing a direct link to those on the wiki page with the gallery? May be a bit of extra work, but it'd save strain on the wiki. Martin Sourada wrote: On Thu, 2008-08-07
