Ages ago Bulia suggested that it would be a really good idea to have
a
more artistic header image for the Inkscape website. Given the
success
of the About Screen contest, I think an excellent and easy way to
get
such a header image would be to stage a similar competition. Does
that
sound like a good idea?
Actually, that is the plan. ;) I had discussed that with Bryce prior
to
the About screen contest, but the latter took priority for obvious reasons. Once we've released the final .42, the website beautifying contest will start soon thereafter.
Oh ok, I shan't interfere then! ; ) Just wanted to make sure that Bulia's suggestion had not been forgotten as it would be really nice
to
get the Inkscape website a tad more visually pleasing.
I take it you'll be co-ordinating the competition?
Yup! I think I'm unofficially (or maybe even officially) in charge of the dA contests. ;) What can I say... being more of an artist than a programmer, I take an interest in the community and want to utilize/stimulate them wherever possible. In general it's one of the best aspects of open source (in my opinion), the community... and being able to contribute back to the project regardless of your skill set. Either way, if you'd like to be involved in the administration side or if you have any input outside of what Bulia had posted forever ago, let me know.
