Well, a page to define what we are not might be nice. IE, a page that
explains that we do not develop for the default Ubuntu artwork (that
is Canonical's art team's job), but for the community package. I think
that giving the impression that the 'team' (if you would call it that)
was open is actually in line with Ubuntu's philosophy, rather than it
giving the impression that you have to be some Picasso in order to
join the team. Yes, we do get the bad, but what is the good without
the bad?
