I should update you all on the current thinking post-Dapper."Our current plan is that the Dapper Drake (Ubuntu 6.06 if we hit our June 2006 release date goal) will be the last of this first "set" of releases. So post-Dapper we have the opportunity to define a new "feel" or overarching theme. It would be unlikely to be... blue. But it might be substantially different to the current Human theme. For the moment, let's stay focused on the road to Dapper, polish up the existing Human theme to the max for that, and then break new ground post-Dapper." First, we will continue to polish and invest in Human. We have a very distinctive look, and until one of the new themes matures to the point that it really can replace Human, we won't switch the default. Second, we will open up at least one, possibly two new themes, that have distinctive look and feel. Those will be community driven, with a clear leadership structure and decision making process per theme. So there will be no dispute about where the buck stops for each of those themes. These can mature during Edgy and Edgy+1, and possibly become the new default in a later release. Third, we will invest in development to expand the theming system, so that background colour and image for desktop is part of the theme, for example. Mark |
