Another reason you're spot on here is that there's no way we can expect a tarball with a theme to make it into a release. We need packaging to be there from the start, so it comes naturally to us, so we don't rush at the end. (By us, I think I mean the people that are actually doing the cool work, not claiming to be one of them :P) A while ago we talked about 'PackagingSchool' happening some time on IRC - everyone sits down, someone takes a 'lesson' and kerblamo, we have 5 more artists able to do packaging too. I can't run such a thing, but I'd try and attend, for sure! -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
