In order for this team to have a success this time around, one person
needs to take ownership of a project (a theme) and ensure that
whatever needs to be done in order to get it complete and installable
gets done.

There are very few people who can create all of the graphical elements
of a theme AND package it AND get it ready for distribution. But
that's ok because one person doesn't need to *do* all of that. They
just need to be tenacious enough to get it done, asking for help where
necessary. As a matter of fact, the right person may not be able to do
any of the tasks other than being able to get something done.

It is a challenge but people on this list have accomplished it. For
example, "Who" has been very active on the list lately and he is one
of the people who achieved this goal a few releases ago. And he didn't
even have PPAs available for his project! As a matter of fact, you can
benefit from his hard work by starting with the bluebuntu source
package and using it as the base for your own theme. If in doubt, ask
for help either here or the MOTUs.
