Good call, will they be Incoming/EdgyWhatever or
Incoming/EdgyProposals/EdgyWahtever?

I would favour number 2

I would also propose another level EdgyWhatever/Summary

For each of those four pages - I don't think it is too much work to
ask each artist to submit a 250 wide thumbnail of each work they
submit and add it to that page- it would reduce the need for busy
people to make contact sheets (which I assume must mean downloading
all of the content first!)

Hence the summary pages

We haven't yet got much in the way of polishing the Human GTK theme? have we?

I don't know that it would - would it?
If we changed the composition slightly, I think it leads to a really
nice consistent feel.

I notice Suse had about 3 slightly different BG images they used for
Splash, usplash lspalsh, bg, gimpsplash - GDM etc

I thought that came after the Propose phase (In Produce)

I don't have that much time and I thinik that it is likely to reduce
the number of concepts I can do if I have to do all 4, but if that is
what is required, okie

I will shortly be writing a 'distribute-qt-them-in-ubuntu-desktop'
spec that proposes shipping a QT 'Style' (so just the KDE equivalent
to a GTK theme) that matches our GTK theme with ubuntu-desktop.
