That sounds like a good idea, glad to have you on board.

Maybe you could co-ordinate the artists quality team for the moment? As you 
may have noticed from kde-look, people often won't volunteer for something 
that hasn't got any visible volunteers yet, so if you could step up and say 
you're co-ordinating it, people might see the author of Nuvola, Lush and 
other artwork and decide it might be worthwhile.

You could perhaps make working on Nuvola the first task. KDE artwork is 
interesting because a single icon theme can be huge (>10mb) and so I don't 
suppose the KDE Artists team want to start including all the best known 
themes (nuvola, lush, noia, reinhardt, etc.) into the kde-artwork package. 
The same goes for other kinds of artwork like wallpapers, kicker backgrounds, 
cursor themes, etc.

Maybe the Quality Team could promote the best/most complete artworks, and try 
to encourage people to complete or touch up potentially good work? Nuvola 
could be the team's first project.
