I agree that at least one representative of the program, lets say
author, or one person who takes care of this aspect for the project
should be part of this decision. It would not be too hard to implement
the voting system that kde-look already has. In bigger wishlists, or
wishlists from commercial appllications it might be necessary to involve
more members of certain projects of course...we will need to define a
process for this.

Once again, this only reflects the necessity of describing this entire
effort as fully as possible before we even think about starting it.

Perhaps the best thing to do at this point would be to define the roles
in this process. If the quality team wants to lead this effort someone
should step up and say so. At least two or three people from the artists
team will help (myself and Frank included).

Bye,
Kenneth
