Thats not really the point of the "You haven't been here long." comment.
It's that there's a whole history of issues that have plagued the art
team. All usually centering around the lack of real direction and being
subject to Mark's misunderstanding of art and design.

There are many talented people pn this list that can more than make
Ubuntu rock. They are mostly just waiting to see solid change from Mark
and Canonical. Actually, most AFAIK aren't waiting. They are done and
over it. So what we're kinda left with now are people like you that have
enthusiasm but no real experience.  Or, we have people with no artistic
ability and w really shouldn't be afraid to tell them that.

It's a much more complex issue than you know.

So I still give a big +1 for the "sub-team" idea. I hope you work on
your own vision of a theme, and not default. Best to hope for is that
pieces get picked for default.
