Hi Bernhard:

Great idea! It will give us a thumbnail preview of the approved designs 
available for the marketing teams. I was going to go on to this next 
step once all the necessary marketing pages were updated and created. 
Feel free to modify the marketing pages that are already in use.

The bottleneck that I encountered was on the Design list. (BTW ... I am 
also on  the Design membership list.) We have to streamline the approval 
process and formalized a little more. Here is what I would like to 
propose to ease the process a little:

The Design Team should be prepared to accept requests from the 
Marketing; Documentation; Website teams and work on these taking in 
consideration the time-line given by the teams requests. This is like 
working in a Design production house. Once a request is put to the 
Design Team assigns the requests to a member(s) for work. (This is done 
as per usual, on a volunteer basis.) Once the project is accepted is 
goes to the next step: Design wiki page.

Design wiki page: We need a Design wiki page where the "proposed 
designs" are posted. ONLY the proposed designs are found on this page! 
Once the design is put on this page it should go to the next step: the 
Voting process.

Vote process for proposed designs: Once these designs are posted (along 
with source files), they should then be put through the approval process 
... to keep things simple we should just put it to a vote to the design 
membership. It may be sent back for re-work and come back to the voting 
process. Once the design has been approved by the design membership, it 
goes to the next step: the Marketing wiki page.

Marketing wiki page: Once the design is approved, the design should be 
moved to the marketing wiki page (along with source files). ONLY the 
approved designs are found on this page. The source files should also be 
posted with the approved designs.

All designs, for any LibreOffice products/marketing campaigns should go 
through the approval process. This will ensure that the branding 
guidelines are followed and improved if they need to be reworked. The 
Design Team should ensure that all designs meet our branding guidelines 
on all aspects of the LibreOffice project.

So, we would really need 2 wiki pages: one design/????? page for the 
design proposals and a marketing/material page (we already have this 
page) for the approved designs. This should ensure that all designs meet 
the branding guidelines for LibreOffice.

How does this sound?

Cheers

Marc
