But considering how important communication is to art direction and openness to a volunteer-based initiative, an ubuntu-studio-design mailing list may be a better approach for something like this. This would keep the noise out of the development list and would give those of us specifically interested in the creative aspect of US a place to freely discuss/brainstorm things without fear of producing unwanted noise. Food for thought. Cheers!

Jorge, I think you can see that Cory is very results driven and prefers to keep involvement at a minimum in order to maximum results. I feel that it is this "force of will" created Ubuntu Studio and afforded it the latitude to grow as far as it has. However, Cory, I would expect you to realize that Jorge doesn't offer much "noise" and is a person that could greatly improve the work that we still need to do. Strong emphasis on "still". If Izo doesn't join the mailing list, Cory I ask that you CC Jorge on last or next message to bring him into the loop. ScottL
