Hi, Interesting suggestions there. However, It is not clear what this "alternative" wallpaper task is meant for? Is this aimed as an addition to default wallpaper? And to be included in the "ubuntu-wallpapers" package? How different is it from the flickr submissions from the community: <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase> (This page is a bit outdated, there is another one somewhere out there.) Or is it for a replacement of the default wallpapers done by Canonical team? > > The "spec" is rooted with elements from the marketing team and spans > from the uninformed to the inspired user.

Nope, as i mentioned above the additional wallpapers are from community submissions. If it is similar, what was missing? Or have you not noticed that one earlier? We need to make sure to collaborate and use our resources wisely. > > / > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/0010_Alternate_Natty_Wallpapers Before adding tasks to the team's task board, we need to make sure it is team's task. Otherwise, anyone can just keep adding tasks there, irrespective of the task being a feasible one or not. (Someone can just drop by and add a task to replace default light theme with Equinox, we need to avoid these) Also, we would have skipped spec numbers, etc. For now, I'v moved the task to: <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JohnBaer/Specs/Alternate_Natty_Wallpapers> Once it is clear what this task is about, we can add it to the board. This is similar to how you updated the Artwork Main page. (Where you proposed a suggestion in your namespace and then updated the main page.) -- Cheers, Vish -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
