I agree, I think this would a great idea.

One of the things that originally got me into linux years ago, was a similar idea, that SuSe and Mandrake had when they would share their users desktops screenshots.

I would gladly volunteer to review submissions ( call me a geek, but i enjoy looking at how people setup their own desktops, and i grab ideas for my own.)

<br>> I think this is a great idea, some comments about what I think we'll need:
<br>>
<br>> 1. Submission method
<br>>
<br>> This can be flickr, deviantart, "email so-and-so" - or a combination
<br>> of these things. This would be a submission for review, not something
<br>> that would automatically be put up on our site.
<br>>
<br>> 2. Submission guidelines
<br>>
<br>> Some people put some pretty offensive stuff on their desktops as their
<br>> backgrounds :) We'll want to write up some guidelines to make sure
<br>> people know their screenshots should Safe For Work and make sure those
<br>> who volunteer to review understand these guidelines.
<br>>
<br>> Also included in this should be a license, confirmation that they have
<br>> permission to share the background image (either they own it or the
<br>> license of the image allows it to be shared as part of a screenshot)
<br>> and their agreement that we can use their screenshot on our website.
<br>>
<br>> 3. At least 2 people who can volunteer to review submissions and
<br>> commit to providing submissions to the web team for putting them up on
<br>> the site in a timely manner.
<br>>
<br>> And I'd suggest we start off saying "Featured desktop" rather than "of
<br>> the week" since we all get busy and I could easily see the weekly slot
<br>> slipping :)
