Hi and welcome! Thank you for the work you are already doing, it's so easy to just take what is there as given without thinking about the people behind it :) > If you need for example a place for uploading your artwork or > functionality to discuss or vote on something I would be glad to help > you. Well, just today I had to think about how the process of creating and maintaining icon themes could be improved. I know the following is quite a big step past upload and voting features, but since you asked ... ;) = Icon management website = A central site where registered members can: - Upload or link sketches and reference material for icons and have them associated with said icons - Upload icon sources as .svg and .xcf. Both 1 icon per file and sheets with several sizes in one file should be supported - View and compare different sets of icons - Track licensing, contributors and projects using the icons - Step through revisions - Manage conflicting edits - See diffs between svg sources and pixel-edited final images - Add comments and annotations (= comment with pointer) - Filter comments and annotations for users and groups - Manage access rights for users and groups - See the necessary commands to checkout or update specific icons or sets - Even better: Freely create, checkout and update icon sheets - Have "screenshots" generated with new icons in place It doesn't have to be all that at once, every step in this direction would be nice. This should obviously be a huge boon for everyone working on icons and shouldn't be restricted to Ubuntu. Especially with comparing different icon sets as one of the features. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
