I know this will not be liked by many, but a Webdesign can't be done by to many people. It's one of the golden rules of a Webdesigner or a Graphics Designer in all, if you get to much influence it will be shit. I know, and I'm cracking my head to adopt the normal Designworkflow to the OSC. I have a proposition (This is in the making for the moment, I have to wait till FOSDEM to fix up some bugs) which would help us all. We should build a little team of the talentest and brightest man we have for the Website. They will propose on the base of the Community 1 or several ideas and will work openly. They will decide some little things in the group, but the community has every time a possibility to interact. (Like this cook thingy says, to many cooks.....). If anyone wants to join me (through mail/Fosdem/call) it would be grate.
