Hi Aaron!

checked out your page, nice svg-stuff. Nice that you would like to
help. So I was wondering if you could help me out here. I have been
uploadinh a heap of icons (gnome stock icons) and they do fine, but i
need some ubuntu artwork. If you look at the frontpage:

https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/FrontPage

next to Releases, I use an jpg, this pic does not scale well, do you
think you could make an svg and put it on:

https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/Artwork

or just send it to me.
I do not know whether svg actually works in swiki, so we should try, I
just know that the current icons do not scale well.

Great to have a graphical guy in the team! Sorry to here about your
health, but I hope that working with us can bring some extra joy.

See you on the list or in #ubuntu-doc,

greetings, Alexander Poslavsky Ubuntu Documentation Team
