Hi Graham, sounds like you need a temporary secretary.


Artwork has a lot to do with advertising and as such it is almost a 
sub-component of marketing (in my view). We should start a Wiki where 
the artists could identify themselves, a page where a list of all 
artwork are detailed. We should also get someone who knows the history 
of OOo and (like you) knows who had left somewhat dissatisfied and that 
person should try to contact these people to see if they would like to 
join the LibO community. The artwork Wiki pages should be on the main 
Marketing wiki with a link to that section.

I find that there is a lot of talk about artwork, but that it is not 
organised enough to work effectively. There needs to be more 
organisation as we are now working towards a deadline of between 4-8 
weeks before the 1st disto makes its appearance.
