Re: Authoring and Screenshots

 

I agree with Patrick that lists would be useful.

I think a public list with the screenshot names, and would be of great help.
All screenshot editors could write there what screenshots are on, and maybe
comment them.
This way we won't miss any screenshot issue, at least that's what i hope :D

Here is an example to illustrate what i say above:
