[ubuntu-art] wav instead of ogg

[Sumit Chandra Agarwal]

I agree with coz on some points below, except rather than his impressive 
several years on the team, I'm speaking from the vantage point of a 
newcomer.

Coming into the community it was fairly surprising to see that art 
development in Ubuntu is chiefly handled through a poorly organized wiki 
(such is the nature of wikis, eh?) and an archaic mailing list.

A proper forum with image posts, etc seems like the perfect plan. It 
would also make discussion and commenting far easier than the current 
wiki (which is why, I assume, most discussion ends up occurring on the 
mailing list instead).

Anybody disagree? Anybody want to take the lead on setting up a forum?

Glad to be part of the community,
-Sumit
