Come on Martin. Look, yes we can always, always be better at communication. But if we had a process like that we might have got to actually one day putting a new logo up. In the process with all the flames and the people screaming no, and all that, the people actually doing then work would get demoralized, like they are right now.
You should take it as a good sign there isn't some huge process and that you are as involved as anyone. I think jockru also said he wanted a blog post? Well he has access to opengeodata as much as we all do! :-) The process you outline is reasonable on a constructive list. This just isn't a constructive place a lot of the time. Instead of taking 8 weeks to have a process, let's treat it as 8 weeks where anyone can help fix these theoretical and technical logo issues. It's right there, anyone can help. So who's going to do it?
