I think this has been part of the problem with the existing
artwork structure.  Professional art has very clearly defined
targets.  Hopefully we have increased this level a bit, and 
can work towards a clearer specification implementation with
a little more time and experience.

I hopefully have addressed this in the mail I sent you.  The
USplash will be marked with the same artistic motifs as the 
other three targets.

Agree 100% for this.  Further, it might be worth documenting that 
information in a Wiki page regarding the 'chores' of an AiC.

Well, as we all know, the art team needs some sea legs -- and that
means getting in touch with the right folks for the right issues.

Some of the 'Needs Infrastructure', from what I have seen, were temp
'needs more work in documenting, etc' before it can be addressed.

I have tried to get most of them set to 'Braindump', but of course,
until everyone gets up to speed on Launchpad, it will take a little
more cleanup / effort.

Baby steps.  We are trying.  We _very_ much need that closeness with
the core non-art dev team -- it is critical.
