Okay you made a point, but I pick it back
svg is only text, so perfect for versioning tools :-)
Yet another reason svg is really important for the branding- package, and why I think branding- is best left in git
If we move to something like ownCloud for artwork, I'd expect to use all of its features for versioning/file restoration, etc to give us as much of that capability as possible, while retaining an ease of use and lower technical barrier for our artists that GitHub doesn't doesn't have
I've been thinking about this for some time, and I dont think there is *one perfect tool* for everything and all of us (ie. branding AND artwork), so my preference is to lean towards ease of use and accessibility for our artists who use the artwork repo - we want them worrying about things that look good, (design, aethetics, etc) not how to do a git clone
+1 This doesn’t mean that artists cannot do GIT, it simply means that our workflow works better with something that is not related to version control. We change and create so much that keeping up with GIT simply adds an extra layer of complexity to the work. I would assume that very few artist that do graphical design actually use git as their preferred place for project storage. How feasible is that we work something out with own cloud in the near future Richard?
Splitting the artwork github into many pieces is a cool solution for the problem of 'boy it takes a long time to clone', but why fix just that when this might be an excuse to make it easier all, especially new artwork contributors? :)
