So, after discussion with Yves-Alexis Perez who did the job for Squeeze,
it seems that nobody is coordinating the gathering of artwork for Wheezy
(which probably explains why the various requests for feedback from the
-publicity team have remained unanswered).

I'm no regular contributor of -desktop but, if no one else is stepping
up to do that, I'm willing to help. At the same time, I don't want to
step on anybody's toes, so if someone else would like to do that, please
say so. I'll be more than happy to step aside :-)


As a first step, I think we need to understand whether there is
consensus on the idea of sending out a call for artwork proposals. I
think it's a good idea so I'll try to work with the -publicity team to
make it real. If anyone here is against, please speak up and state your
reasons.

Assuming we will go ahead with the above, we need a landing page.
Valessio: can you please double check [1] and see if it contains
everything that is needed?

Also, I think it'd be pretty discouraging for potential applicants to
land up on a page like [1] and finding it empty of any proposal. How
about submitting the Squeeze artwork as a legacy proposal for Wheezy?
That would help understand the shape of a proposal and help applicants
feeling less "lonely" :) What do you think?

Cheers
