Hey all,
I've recently noticed a few people tossing URL's out here and there for
potential graphics. I certainly hope there is some sort of approval
process that makes sure only tasteful and professional graphics and
artwork make it's way into Fedora. There are other distro's, I won't name names, that include just terrible
graphics and look awful. Redhat, and now Fedora, is a really nice
professionally looking disto, and I'm sure this is mostly because of
Garrett. Is there going to be some sort of committee that approves things? If
so, I would love to be on it. If not, what is the process in which
things could or could not be incorporated. I think this needs to get
detailed and presented so everyone will know where things stand. I
would hate to think that since we are opening things up, the the quality
standard is going to go down.
For the time being, there will be no committee, but I will most likely be bouncing concepts and artwork off of selected individuals. This group of people will mostly consist of those this list who choose to speak up and other trusted individuals, including contributors.

I suggest:
Let us give the desktop freedom.
There is one basic reason why the WWW was so successful. Anybody could develop a site with it's own design. Individuals, Companys, etc.
That's why Linux needs a open desktop - also from an art perspective. It will make Linux successful, also in a business world.
Anyway, this means we need themes (includinging icons and everything which make up a theme), we need theme design tools (for the artists and design companies, etc.)
We need a voting system for the public to vote for the default theme.
We need many themes to cover many tastes.
We need a theme database to build themes and even vote for single icons.
We don't need just single icons, we need "design systems".
I am ready to help!
Best regards,
Marky Goldstein
