Usually this is way it goes: 1: Have an idea 2: Talk to some people (unofficially), see how it's received. IRC is a good place for this, since you can just spitball with a half-finished idea, email will work too, but I know for a lot of people, they'd rather have a bit more of a solid proposal before it gets to email, this is just personal preference, email is a fine medium 3: Draft up a proposal 4: Publish it somewhere, usually this means creating a new wiki page, a subpage of some idea-ish section is good; http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/Projects/MyNewIdea looks like a good place to start (with how the MarketingTeam section is set up currently). 5: Email the list about it, talk it up, ask for comments/etc (usually on your proposal page, they'll comment at the bottom, or inline, or whatever). Commenters customarily sign their comments with @[EMAIL PROTECTED] 6: Discussion happens 7: Idea is implemented A precursor to 7 may be some sort of official vote, or not, people can just start in many cases. This is probably pretty dependent on what the idea actually is.
