Ah that came out wrong, I wasn't meaning to criticise you, I was suggesting to the critics that they do something about the theme (get involved!) rather than just criticise. > > > It doesn't appear to have a statement of concept on the wiki with > > screenshots for people to comment on.

The wiki page just needs to be updated :-) Cool. Is the Hardy page about the work done so far still available?

Sorry that wasn't very clear. I completely agree that the people involved in the actual development need to be technically skilled. I was referring to the wiki (and indeed the forums) as a good place for the community to respond with more general comments about the theme (i.e. I like this, I don't like this, why I feel that way). What I'm getting at I suppose is that whilst obviously there will be technical/accessibility issues which are best reported on launchpad, there will also be more abstract/vague art-critic/audience-critic responses which would be best place somewhere else (forums/wiki/individuals blogs)? > -- > Ken >
