Would it be useful to have [[Fedora_photos_guidelines]] or something to that effect on the wiki? It seems like something we might refer to often, or is a question that comes up often. Covering basically: * What is the best license for my photos so they can be used by the Fedora Project * If pictures are used for publication - or if I have a publication that needs pictures - how do I go about getting a release form, where does it get stored, etc. * Guidelines for who are recommended subjects (friends), no minors, etc Thoughts? -Robyn PS This may already exist...
