[ubuntu-art] Alternate Natty Wallpaper Proposal

[Сергей]

Hello everyone,

I want to add my two cents because I've been a wiki admin for 1,5 years, and
there are established and time-proved traditions of handling proposals and
making decisions. I'll try to provide a summary of them:

   1. Every collaborative task must be proposed to wider audience and
   accepted or declined by the community.
   2. It must be absolutely evident that a proposal is just a proposal and
   may be changed or declined. As a consequence, it must not be located in
   production namespaces (read: keep it in personal )
   3. Decisions are made by reaching consensus of opinion, not by voting.
   4. Admins have absolutely the same authority in making decisions as
   non-admins do.

I'd be very happy if this is accepted for Artwork team as a rule.

Regarding the initial topic, I think it's insane to have one pool for photos
and illustrations alike. They cannot be judged in the same way nor compared;
it's like comparing meters and kilograms.
And I personally think that increasing community presence in default Ubuntu
installation is great. A pick of top community themes (probably different in
every release) also would be a perfect addition to look and feel of Ubuntu.

One more thing. I doubt Canonical will endorse or not endorse this
initiative. If I were Ivanka, I'd wait and see what it turns out, and then
decide if any of these wallpapers make their way into default installation.
Either way they must be at least available as a package from universe
repository.

Respectfully,
