I still think ending up with a choice of quality wallpapers for Edubuntu<br>
and Xubuntu will be a step forward, already.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>Very much agreed, since those have clearly defined specs, I have higher hopes for those. I am seeing this pool as a place for filtering some of the wider areas of Ubuntu wallpapers that exist out there, that aren't grown to spec: the kind of stuff that are texture walls and light walls, maybe even some illustrations. Stuff that as of now has no real home, but is definitely <i>for</i> Ubuntu. This is stuff that is *not * going to make it if included in freecultureshowcase. We could invite/find this stuff and put it in a a community package, and give it some eyeballs. It would hopefully make some of these artists willing to work on other stuff with us.</div>

I expect that at least one person (ideally at least 2, one as fallback),<br>
volunteers for packaging beforehand. If no one takes ownership, you can<br>
forget it.</blockquote><div> </div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
I can do the packaging (hey, that's easy!), but I'm not a MOTU and don't have upload rights to Ubuntu archives.</blockquote></div><div><br></div>Sergey, I am sure we can work around that. Thanks so much for volunteering!<div>
<div>As the backup, could we simply release on the web? <br>-- <br>Saleel <br><br>

<br></blockquote></div><br>It looks like we have support to move forward with this. In my mind this will add value to Ubuntu and the greater community and what an opportunity to work other teams toward the same goal.<br>
