Yes I agree. December is a good time to get calm and dreaming. This could 
be a good time for other ideas and creativity. It would be great if new 
graphics could be prepared during January to March so that we can 
integrate it into upcoming R14.1.0.

Yes, a short website announcement could be good.
Or at least email to announcements ML.

I don't know if it makes sense to create a separate mail address or a 
special web page. The possibilities were considered either sending a 
mailing to devels ML or creating a page on tde TDE Wiki.

I have doubt about whether it could be beneficial to send challenges to 
other communities than that are interested in the development of TDE.

The requirement that the new mascot should be connected with the original 
KDE mascot does not seem good to me. On the contrary, it seems better if 
the new mascot will be obviously different, not another dragon variant. 
Although I like the dragons, I also like bears. I like proposal from 
Phillipe. And Tristian / Tee seems to me a very beautiful name.

Cheers
