Matthew,

This is very exciting and I am sure members of this team will assist.

Typically we add community requests to our project board (
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Tasks ), discuss effort on the list, and
post submissions to a wiki page or flickr. Each project is supported by a
specification ( "spec" ) which is very similar to your brief.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Tasks

I am willing to craft a "draft" spec for team discussion, review, and your
approval.

Thank you for this request.

Best regards,


John
