Vish,

I hesitate to respond to this post as it will likely turn into a "*rant" or
a "flame" but the bottom line is what is the harm? I invited artist to
support Ubuntu and the greater community by sharing their talent and I set
up an environment which would protect their contributions from the harsh
criticism often found on this list.

This has been open, respectful of other individual efforts, and as of today
I have not received any requests from the design team to stop.

Although you feel empowered to make statements and wiki changes with the
implied authority of the Design Team I have asked if you have this authority
and have not received confirmation this is true. My assumption is you share
the same role as the rest of us - Artwork Team member.

So the real question becomes how do you want to contribute to the Ubuntu
community and what is stopping you?

I don't see any barriers.

Kind regards,

John
