Ok :)

While I don't mind to take any feedback, I think it is too early for both
of us to go that level :) you don't yet know me and neither do I :) When
someone gives you a feedback about whatever you do, he/she puts him/her
self in others' shoes. I can do that myself but I didn't want that for
these reasons:


   1. I'm not a designer, perhaps a very basic one.
   2. We do have an Artwork Team and these tasks, IMHO, should be done by a
   dedicated team.
   3. I have lots of real life stuff to deal with + tons of projects and
   tasks to take care of.

I have worked closely with Rafael (Lubuntu Artwork) and Alfredo (Ubuntu
GNOME Artwork) and we all know how to deal with each others. So, by time,
hopefully myself and you could find a better communications and better
collaboration tasks.

It is a matter of time. I'm sure you will exceed all the expectations.

Nothing is perfect.
