Dear Artworkians,
 
I'm posting up here to ask for people's help/advice/contributions to the
artwork package in edubuntu for the edgy release.  We have never had an
artwork team before, and I'm keen to make a good impression this release.
 
I think, being a lot free-er this release with regards to artwork will
be of great benefit to edubuntu, although we still have to be careful
about the quality of the work we include.  I have seen some great
texture work going on in the ubuntu-artwork team and would like to
replicate that feeling of "artwork themes" in edubuntu. 
 
Last release we had the "normal" theme and a "young" theme.  I'm hoping
to do the same this release with the inclusion possibly of a
"higher-edu" theme that can be used in universities.  I know that there
is some talk from some people about having a branding engine for edgy. 
My hubby, cbx33 is starting to look into that and I believe that that
would be a key feature for many institutions.  At the same time, for
those who do not have the time or the inclination, I think it is vital
to provide them with a theme that does not patronise their institution. 
 
So I'm asking for what "theme words" people would like present in
edubuntu this release, for example, young, fresh etc.  If you can't seem
to find the word but know an image that embodies the feeling you are
describing, link us to it, and we can see if we can think of it.
 
I'll then start putting together a wiki page of all the ideas we come up
with, so we can collaborate on themes and ideas.
 
Once again I'd like to thank everyone who helped previously on dapper,
let's make edgy rock ever more :p
