I don't feel too good any more (I moved the motion for votes). Only that we have an 'alien' design to deal with time time around. <thinking aloud> I personally don't buy the wallpaper concept (stripes) but it does go well with the Gnome3 mock-ups (which means the Gnome3 interface overhaul will be more at home with the kind of wallpapers made by the Fedora Design Team). However, in the spirit of Open-Source and Linux OS as a whole, its humbling to get a request to assist a major contributor to Linux DE. Argh ... *scratching-my-head* ... but Fedora Design team handles design request other than those internally generated. Why didn't Gnome ask us to do this through the usual means -- place the request on Trac and alarm us to do our thing -- to produce a mock-up wallpaper (even link a sample concept, the stripes). It would have been downstream -> upstream motion as usual. That would have made this case so much easier. It would have been a Gnome3 wallpaper ... but a Fedora Design Team work. It adds up. This is a dilemma ... How did we get here? How do we end this? </thinking aloud> -- Oku Onyeibo http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:twohot _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
