Hi all, A clarification: I didn't intend to propose an alternative to Ryan's plan. There's no reason not to move ahead with that, as far as I'm concerned.

I think it's probably best for us to discuss these ideas elsewhere (sorry for hijacking your thread!) Since you asked, some brief details of what I had in mind: It could be a single set, or it could be a small number of sets. The main thing that I would be interested to see is a clearer sense that the images go together, which would require a fairly tight definition of each set. For example: close up photographs of animals, macro photographs of flowers, or a particular series of abstract graphics. If assembling a set of photographs, it could also be nice to try and keep the overall style the same (composition, depth of field, colour level, brightness, etc - although I know that could be challenging). > The Fedora Design team has created wallpapers for each release, and I don't > think that should change.

Regarding the default wallpaper, one thing I would be really interested in is having consistency across releases, so the default wallpaper comes to define the identity of the product in a more significant way. This would require us to identify a theme that could be varied for each version.
