Hi,
We need to provide some Artwork through our repositories. Within my modest knowledge about OBS, I'm meeting this weekend 2 other Portuguese enthusiasts for a small howto on OBS, and since this is for starters, I'll start them up with Artwork packaging, since it's pretty plain.
Now before I push to Projects a generic 'Artwork' Repository (which is kinda overkill since KDE has it own stuff), I was wondering if we could do it within GNOME (ex: GNOME:Artwork). If this sounds attractive, what would be the best way to give it a go. So far I guess I will be the only one working for it (adding artwork, mainly metathemes with 5K+ downloads on gnome-look.org and with active development, and keeping updated dependencies, for example GTK engines). I hope this 2 Portuguese people do give a hand on this at least on the start.
Artwork does 'sell', look at some obscene numbers on gnome-look. If anyone experienced could guide me through on this it would be most appreciated.
NB the automatic packaging of stuff on eg opendesktop.org sites is what Project Bretzn addresses. This would enable content creators to automatically package your gnome-look.org artwork in the OBS. Frank is currently looking for people to finish the gnome client libs for Bretzn, and IMO this would be a better time investment than manually packaging artwork yourself.
