I've been thinking about how to retain consistency between
different types of Ubuntu (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu). Perhaps we
could simply make sure that the default themes that exist for the
different distros are somewhat universal?
For instance, Kubuntu could have a blue theme. It should
preferably look as much like the Ubuntu default theme as possible,
barring the color set. Then we should include that blue theme not
just in Kubuntu, but also in Ubuntu. And the other way around, of
course, there should be an orange theme for Kubuntu.
This way, we can retain consistency between the different types of
Ubuntu and also adhere to the thought of making several color
styles for the default theme. I'm not sure if this is entirely
possible to perform, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.
We have an official "policy of independence" between the flavours
of Ubuntu. They are basically required to collaborate on bits that
overlap, like kernel, but can be totally independent w.r.t. things
like art and style. My only requirement of consistency is that they
ALL be *consistently*:
* world class (looking DAMN good)
* distinctive (if you see a screenshot you should KNOW it's
Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Ubuntu)
Please turn this into an FAQ so that we don't have the same debate
time and time again!
Cheers,

I don't exactly know what you mean; do you mean that since there's a
"policy of independence", this idea should not be implemented (if
possible or viable at all), or that since the different flavors of
Ubuntu _can_ be totally different (but don't have to), this idea
_can_ be implemented if we want to go through with it?
It would seem that you're okay with this idea as long as the themes
adhere to the criteria you listed, but I'm not sure. :)
