I agree with coz on some points below, except rather than his impressive several years on the team, I'm speaking from the vantage point of a newcomer.
Coming into the community it was fairly surprising to see that art development in Ubuntu is chiefly handled through a poorly organized wiki (such is the nature of wikis, eh?) and an archaic mailing list. A proper forum with image posts, etc seems like the perfect plan. It would also make discussion and commenting far easier than the current wiki (which is why, I assume, most discussion ends up occurring on the mailing list instead). Anybody disagree? Anybody want to take the lead on setting up a forum?
