<font face="Helvetica">Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I am new to the team, but am trying to follow up as much as I can.<br>
<br>
I know it may seem difficult sometimes to work with me, since when
I work on something I expect the other side to be as clear about
their demands as they can, which I do realize is not often
possible and the industry I am entering also teaches, but believe
me when I say when the communication is right, and attention to
detail is paid, all work will be done accordingly.<br>
<br>
To the website issue, I cannot, nor do I consider myself a web
designer, <u>yet</u>. Currently I am taking my three-months long
internship at a local design company, so practically I am
available, not sure to what extent, but I am.<br>
<br>
I have done a few small web designs and about 3 full websites in
Joomla, but that was years ago. Joomla, however, is simple and
could be an alternative for us - to take a suitable pre-coded
Joomla template and redesign that.<br>
<br>
I am confident we have many skilled people with us who know their
way around with the code, so Joomla, that is just like Ubuntu
built by the community and with all its flexibility could be
altered to anyone's desires. Then again I saw the work of some of
our designers and again I am confident, that together we can
achieve great things.<br>
<br>
<u>All it takes is proper communication</u>.<br>
<br>
I know we are busy, some of us extremely, and that is why we have
to continue in a massive recruitment campaign to fill up our
ranks. This campaign would involve the creation of recruitment
banners/posters/other propaganda material to hire designers to
join the cause.<br>
<br>
There are many artists who simply don't know where to fit, then
there are those who are yet to experience the light of the stage,
and there are so many art collectives/websites centred around art
that I lost count of and are the best place to start searching at.<br>
<br>
Those being a part of such communities should start posting blog
entries, forum threads and even in the news section of that site
with the approval of admins that we are looking for people with
skill, dedication and the right amount of enthusiasm for our cause
because what we do is karma, but a good one.<br>

<div>The whole website MUST be changed and it seems no one
is following up with this issue. While I didn't give up
yet, I feel my efforts to chase this issue is
helpless/useless as neither the marketing nor the artwork
sub-teams are following up. Above all, I have not yet seen
a serious draft to replace the current website.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I highly understand real life comes first (myself was
and still busy with), this task was pending for more than
one cycle and if I remember correctly, we wanted to do
that from 14.04 cycle. It means 3 cycles so far ... that's
way too much!<br>
