There are a few unsorted Edgy Eft propositions at Self:/Evaluation/EdgyPropositions. The Ubuntu Artwork team and mailing list serves as a get-together for people who create artwork with and/or for Ubuntu (including the derivatives). Besides great visual design, our interests include the use of Free Software and open processes to get there.
Line 12: Line 12:
= Get Involved! =
The Artwork team has an open process to become a member for contribution and decision (using polls). Go to '''Self:/Team/GetInvolved''' to learn how to join.
Development of the default wallpaper, GTK themes, and icon sets for Ubuntu are lead by the Canonical Design Team. Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Mythbuntu, Lubuntu and supported packages are open to contributions in these categories.
Line 15: Line 14:
= Guidelines =
We aim to link to existing wiki documentation in our Self:/Documentation section. After a good bit of learning through the Dapper process, we are attempting to build a better structure. See Self:/Documentation/Guidelines for information about the ArtworkTeam structure based on Mark Shuttleworth's comments to the mailing list.
Concepts going beyond visual design into functionality are better handled by the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ayatana|Ayatana project]].
