I'm not opposed to a single pool for non-photo wallpapers, if you are that eager, but please not several. I would also lean towards keeping it open, that is: not tied to a release. I still think ending up with a choice of quality wallpapers for Edubuntu and Xubuntu will be a step forward, already. I expect that at least one person (ideally at least 2, one as fallback), volunteers for packaging beforehand. If no one takes ownership, you can forget it. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
