A side from the fact that the name is too long, I see no reason to create
the 10th sub-team for Ubuntu GNOME. Spreading our human resources which are
few anyway is very bad idea, if you ask me and I speak from long
experience. Please, let's use our current available resources.

I had no idea the website thing would take all that time, energy and
efforts. I have not seen this coming at all.

We have two sub-teams:

Marketing
Artwork

Both can work together on this.

I understand the importance of the website but see no need to waste time
more.

If you guys think I'm wrong and we should create a new sub-team, you need
to understand this will eat up extra and more time to do many things :) can
we KISS, please?
