Even it this was not the intention behind it (the intention is to cover the needs/tastes of a larger user base), yes, it can work like this: if at the last moment we find the "default" wallpaper is not good enough as a default, we can switch it with one of the 4. However, those 4 will probably not fill the bill for the default (abstract, vector, themed), since we will encourage people to go crazy for the alternatives. >>> * be stricter about deadlines>>>> +1>> I think this ticket review process would really help -- there are no> surprises for anyone.

Hope we will get to talk more about it at FUDCon, but here is my latest idea: run the new wallpaper system as an official feature for F12 (the feature is not the wallpaper, but the process), this will help us get better exposure (and maybe more contributors) and also make us more strict with the deadlines. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/_______________________________________________design-team mailing listdesign-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
