Even this very week the idea of 2 or more desktop themes has been rejected and overruled for Edgy in favor of the 'Human branding ONLY' concept. Then in another thread by lizardking, 2 memebers and myself are for it and there's been no opposition to it. So, my attitude has been on key, Sir! ..as you can see? Specifications are DESIGNED to be used at the BEGINNING of the release cycle. So everyone can see what is PLANNED. Then the team can coordinate to deliver on those specs. For edgy, I will just ignore everyone who sends in their own favourite artwork. That is not constructive. What is constructive is to identify two or three clear, distinct theme styles, and then build teams to polish those up slowly through the course of the release ccle, with weekly uploads, to the point where they are really classy by the time you get to release. Well, thank you for finally making that clear. It's just what I, and others, wanted to hear and what few of us have been asking for! Now that it has finally been said, some real artwork/desktops can come forth. I based my thoughts of LP on the past because I had nothing else to go on. That was my point. That if all we were going to do is make a few things and propose them for inclusion, LP was not needed. I certaintly agree LP 'could' be a good tool in an effort to offer a few good choice desktops. It makes sense to need LP for unified desktop choices, but I couldn't understand why people wanted it just to repeat a dapper artwork cycle. BUGS are your way to track problems that have occurred. They let you know what things you are committed to fixing, and which you will not fix. This is critical throughout the process, not just in the final week. That's what I've said since Warty! Mark |
