Does it make sense to request moving the Ubuntu mailing list archives to the new Nabble2 site? Apparently all it takes is to submit a request. If the migration doesn't remove us from ubuntu category (http://old.nabble.com/Ubuntu-f12717.html) or break anything, I'm sure we shall migrate to the

Hello everyone! I've put together a small list of possible tasks for the nearest future: - update checkbox-gtk header with the new Ubuntu logo - update Ubuntu brainstorm look and feel - update and improve hwdb.ubuntu.com look - design a better unity logo (?) Where shall I put it?

I have no plans for that icon, it's just a doodle with several rough edges. Do whatever you want with it. Speaking of your design, Ubuntu logo looks weird with flat color background on that perspective-transformed part of the box. It should be a left-to-right gradient, darker and a bit less

Current Compiz logo is http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Compiz_logo.svg, right? BTW the doodle just got a bit fixed and improved. The URL is the same: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5279564/Compiz_Unity.svg Another thing I don't like in box concept is pasting flat logo on the

We could also use spreadubuntu.org engine, I think the only thing it lacks is explicit linking to images on which a work is based, but that doesn't seem that hard to add. I don't think openclipart.org-like remix button approach is a good idea. An image can be based on several works, all of them

Launchpad has its own application similar to SparkleShare: it's Ground Control. See https://launchpad.net/groundcontrol and http://ground-control.org/ for details. IMHO, a version control system is usable for designers if it supports at least thumbnail view in web frontend and downloading

I guess it's better to put a checkbox there, like it was in Rhythmbox indicator applet, like it's now in Transmission indicator applet etc. After those applets users expect it to be there. And empty space is confusing and just ugly. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com

Now, in terms of getting it included in the distro, the gwibber package page [1] shows the maintainer as the Ubuntu core developers. So either ask the question via Launchpad (you have a link on page [1]) or send an email to the ubuntu-devel mailing list and someone should be able to tell you

Hello everybody, I'm new to this list and I'm not sure if it's the right thing to post such ideas, but creating a separate page in /Incoming for such a trifle seems ridiculous. I've been testing Lucid beta-1 recently and noticed Gwibber pre-installed in it. I liked the program, but its icon seemed
