Re: thinking together artwork to 'Wheezy'

Hi Marco, I can imagine notes as decorative elements, but I wouldn't use it as a very important element because many people wouldn't know why there are notes. Many people for sure don't know Toy Story and lack the knowledge that Debians release names are referring to characters in it... Best Fran
