Hello, Thank you for your feedback Urmas :P
Just a reminder that we are all volunteers and this is open source, many of us have day jobs we get paid to do and many of us are not experts in the areas we volunteer in. This community allows many people to user their expert skills or vice versa gain skills they would otherwise not be exposed to in learning. For example, I have coding skills, but I do that for my day job. There was a need for marketing and branding. I jumped in and am trying my best to drive this process forward, I've made proposals and I've tried to organize information around assets and branding. I don't think anyone suggested a bad idea in their contribution, they may just not have the skills to create a finished product. Some looked more finished than others.
