Hi Chinkal Nagpal, <br><br>I'm a Krita artist and tester. I read your two PDF , and it's a very polished work , analysis and writing. <br>Thank you about that and welcome on the Krita mailing list. Here is my comment & quoting about 2 chapters of your second PDF : "a proposal covering idea and promotion ".<br>
About the communication tools :<br><span style="font-family:arial black,sans-serif"><br><b>2. The world of blogging:</b></span><br><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote">
<i>"In the recent times, we all know that a blog rightly done can do wonders to any business."</i><br></blockquote><div><br>Krita.org 'News' system is a good base to create a blog. <br>It would need work, and a <b>*webdesigner/webmaster* </b><i>(contributor welcome</i><i>)</i> could :<br>
<ol><li>display and clean post by categories, and replace 'News' in the mainsite top menu by 'Blog'<br></li><li>propose a page for community to submit a news ( ex : <a href="http://www.blendernation.com/submit-news/">http://www.blendernation.com/submit-news/</a> )<br>
</li><li>propose sharing button, not limited only to diaspora and <a href="http://identi.ca">identi.ca</a> as now. <br></li><li>a system to simply repost blogpost of developpers personnal website or tester : a lot of cool post are made by Lukas, Dmitry, Sven, Pentalis, Animtim and Boud ( and other I forget to mention )</li>

<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br>Regarding the project Krita Webshop, I have prepared two proposals on-<br>1. Proposal to choose Zazzle as the web-shop platform.<br>2. Proposal covering ideas for promotion<br><br>I have shared both the documents on Dropbox <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qwjkd92ctnnwtbm/ZMUwLQozwy" target="_blank">here</a> (don't worry they aren't long!).<br>
Do share your views and suggestions regarding the documents! :)<br><br>Also, I have created a dummy web-shop on Zazzle so as to facilitate the discussion on deciding the theme and design of our Zazzle Krita web-shop. Check the web-shop <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/keeptrying" target="_blank">here</a> and suggest your ideas on how the web-shop should look like. :)<br>
