</div>Hi,<br>
Interesting suggestions there.<br></blockquote><div><br>Thanks!<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
However, It is not clear what this "alternative" wallpaper task is meant<br>
for?<br>
<br>
Is this aimed as an addition to default wallpaper?<br>
And to be included in the "ubuntu-wallpapers" package?<br>

How different is it from the flickr submissions from the community:<br>
<<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase</a>> (This page is a bit<br>
outdated, there is another one somewhere out there.)<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>AFAIK in the past all of the alternate wallpapers come as photo's from the Ubuntu Flickr group noted above. My proposal is to open this up for illustrations.<br>

Or is it for a replacement of the default wallpapers done by Canonical<br>
team?<br></blockquote><div><br>I am unaware of Canonical's desire. As noted above this "UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase" is still closed. <br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

</div>Nope, as i mentioned above the additional wallpapers are from community<br>
submissions.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I'm unclear of your message here?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
If it is similar, what was missing? Or have you not noticed that one<br>
earlier?<br>
We need to make sure to collaborate and use our resources wisely.<br>

</div>Before adding tasks to the team's task board, we need to make sure it is<br>
team's task.<br>
Otherwise, anyone can just keep adding tasks there, irrespective of the<br>
task being a feasible one or not. (Someone can just drop by and add a<br>
task to replace default light theme with Equinox, we need to avoid<br>
these)<br>
Also, we would have skipped spec numbers, etc.<br>
<br>
For now, I'v moved the task to:<br>
<div class="im"><<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JohnBaer/Specs/Alternate_Natty_Wallpapers" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JohnBaer/Specs/Alternate_Natty_Wallpapers</a>><br>
<br></div></blockquote><div><br>I have a problem with this. The desire is to discuss the idea and I believe I clearly stated this is a proposal and defined what that meant. If the Team decides this is a bad idea and we should not go there I will certainly support it.<br>
<br>However, I was not aware of your authority to move content around to meet your personal needs. If I am wrong please help me understand as I did not know posting to the wiki required your approval.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<div class="im">
</div>Once it is clear what this task is about, we can add it to the board.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Again, who will make that decision and how will it be executed ( poll ) ?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
This is similar to how you updated the Artwork Main page. (Where you<br>
proposed a suggestion in your namespace and then updated the main page.)<br>
<font color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote><div><br>Updating the Artwork Team Main page was not a proposal.<br> <br>In the future show some respect and check with the author who invested time and initiative before taking action. I will be putting it back as before and I certainly welcome additional constructive dialog. IMO this is a great proposal.<br>
<br>Respectfully,<br><br>John<br></div></div>
