Please use this thread to talk about all wiki pages, just change wiki page name, and include a link, like below.
Andy created this collection of pages with annotations as a communication method, which doesn't work well for me. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gZesLzEIJej9YkzA52nf2I7GQgrf_h1E71NJ6ozu...
I think it works great myself, but that's just me. Being able to collaborate on one document without weeding through a bunch of this, that and the other keeps focus on the project.
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Wallpaper_graphics_(proposals) Before Kenneth came with idea to create Flickr group, we created this page and it is a bit of mess. Some links, some instructions, and nothing that can be linked from Flickr page.
Original idea was that volunteers, that look anyway for good photography and graphics, post links to their findings, but it was fast expanded to comments, actual links to photos, then it was added legal text, instructions, requirements that it must and page become not that usable.
I agree this page could use some restructuring. Maybe if we create an outline of what "should" be in there vs what "is" there we could clean it up a bit. Remember, it has taken a while for all these pages to take shape to the point that they are now. It will take some time to clean them up as well, just hopefully not as long.
We (me) need(s) idea how to organize that topic on the wiki as one of start points for us looking for a good photos.
For now I'm sure that: * Wallpaper_graphics_(proposals) must be exactly what name tells. Few images that are proposed for the next release. * Legal requirements, instructions for collectors and jury must be linked, but they must go on a separate pages.
Agreed, should we remove this page http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Wallpapers_12.2 for Wallpaper_graphics_(proposals) then? Based on your description they are kind of covering the same thing.
I'm still not giving up on a idea to have page with links to web pages of good photographers, and it doesn't matter are they on their own server or some common place like Flickr, or photo.net.
PS. Good photographers are rare, but in a world of 6 bln. people there is a lot of them. After short search on a site, see this: http://photo.net/photodb/member-photos?user_id=1868466
In other words instead of making only our photos, we will be better off to look (as originally planned) for other people work and hone skills to have such photos in our collections.
Note that photo.net has no safe browsing, so any kind of photography can be found there.
I understand the point being made here, but it seems obscure to me that among the thousands that use our distro not a single one of them is capable of generating a "once every 8 months" image we can use so we have to shop outside the community? If it has been that way in the past, it seems like kind of a bummer.
