Correct as proposals are ideas which spring from this community.  :D   If
Canonical has an opinion or a suggestion I would love to hear it as my
desire is to add value.

I do not know as this is the only type of submission posted. In addition, I
am unaware if there is any guidance in the form of a spec or briefing to
assist with content. The goal of my proposal is to offer this type of
assistance.

I am on the fence with this and your advice is very much appreciated. My
concern is the the volume (viz. 5750 photo's to ? illustrations ) and no way
to identify effort (viz. intrepid vs maverick vs natty ).

Does it make sense to follow the lead of the Marketing team and to mold the
spec around the roles they defined?

Any additional thoughts about this is greatly appreciated.


Best regards,
