I'd rather wait some more. We're not even past pre3 yet.
Seconded. His entry is SO much beyond the second choice.
FWIW, even if he misses the .42 deadline, I think we should let
him
know that we'd be interested in it for .43 if he gives us the
SVG
in time.
I definitely agree that we should wait, I only suggested it
because
it's
difficult to get a sense of the urgency with you guys sometimes.
The
problem is that one person makes it sound like we're releasing
tomorrow
and someone else is saying it's a week at the soonest. Anyway, I
really
do feel the need to get in contact with the runner-up to make sure they're reachable, just in case we can't easily get a hold of him
(like
the winner).
I strongly disagree and think we need to get this release out. We shouldn't wait indeterminately on a screenshot when we have another ready. Also, we don't know what happened to this author and longer
time
could go by without a response.
I'm with rejon; let's get this one out and move on. If we end up getting the SVG of it after the release is out, we can use it for a future releases' about screen.
Just for the record, I think that I didn't communicate what I was agreeing with correctly. I was agreeing with waiting to see if the about author surfaces... until this release is otherwise ready to go (before we stick the runner-up in there). It's time to get this out, which is why I jumped on having _something_ new for an about screen. I just want to see what the SoC guys have up their sleeves already (I can hardly contain myself wrt the Inkboard reintegration).
