Another problem is that if we discuss just here , then the replies/solutions get lost in the archives. Lets also summarize here : <http://openetherpad.org/UbuntuArtwork> > Problem #1 > There are far too many people on this list that never seem to post. > Solution: > Trim the list to contributors only, only those that post and > contribute regularly. > I have also had the same idea but I dont think this is a feasible idea. People will want to ask questions, like how the installer question was asked a few days ago. We can leave this mailing list as it is? maybe? What we could do is to make the lp team moderated <https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-art> And people can get added there once they state their intent. Any work in Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu will only be included from Launchpad. So its better if the lp team was restricted to contributors. > Problem #6 > We no longer have any direction of what to do. > Solution: > This entirely depends on #4 and the skillsets we can tap on this list. > At the very least, we start off small and create a community set of > wallpapers, as well as alpha and beta wallpapers.

We can get this done , i dint want to push this too much since i wanted to test the waters here first.. ;) As I mentioned, I had been planning this for a while now, and <http://openetherpad.org/UbuntuArtwork> is a consolidate of my interaction with other teams. I had nearly given up because there seemed to be lack of interest from others. And I was being told it might be just in vain. Its not just Ubuntu. There are other derivatives we can help too! Xubuntu *for sure* wants help with their artwork! I believe the Xubuntu team has now subscribed to this mailing list too.. Let's hear a reply from them directly as well.. :) -- Cheers, Vish -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
