[ubuntu-art] Long Term Vision Theme

[Brian Fleeger]

Hi all,


I am new to the art team, and would like to
ask where would be the best place to post my new "Long Term Vision"
theme, a follow-up to "Gimmie-Human."  I would ordinarily post a
new theme directly under the Incoming/Intrepid sub-directory, but this is a
very ambitious "re-envisioning" of Ubuntu and probably not totally
implementable in one development cycle.  I would like to modularize
aspects of the theme realization, such that work could begin under Intrepid, and
then continue implementing other modules in subsequent releases until
completion or another “vision” takes its place.  

Should I: 
a) post in the directory above "Intrepid" (general Incoming Art); or
b) first post under Intrepid, then post subsequent revisions in following
cycles?
 
May I suggest making a special section for long range art planning.  It seems that the 6 month development cycle
may be limiting artists imaginations in terms of what they think is feasible in
a short time frame.  Perhaps there could
be a “playground” area where we can just go wild?  That way, if we have some rough idea of where we want to go 2 years down the line we can put more creative talent into the details.

To get a better idea of what I am getting at, please see the attached two
sample images.  I used a lot of the concepts developed in my Gimmie-Human
theme, but was inspired by the simple beauty of the Netbook Remix
interface.  When the first videos came out of that, I knew I could throw
out all the rulebooks and rethink the whole interface.

As a newcomer, I appreciate your patience as I learn the ropes!

Best Regards,
Brian Fleeger
