Art Schedule for Fedora 10

JohnPoelstra showed[1] on @fedora-art a tentative schedule[2]for the Artwork activities and asked about help with it "1) Which tasks no longer apply and should be removed 2) New tasks which should be added 3) Existing tasks that are wrong"

Working on a sound theme

ChrisNorman uploaded[1] a first preview of a new desktop sound theme created for Fedora and he received[2] some feedback about length and content from NicuBuculei: "I am not sure about speaking the English word 'attention' - some people not speaking English may not be that happy. And maybe, just maybe, a few sounds, like 'window-close.wav' are a bit too long".

Echo icon theme as a Fedora 10 feature

LuyaTshimbalanga reported[1] about FESCO acceptance of the new Echo icon set as a default in Fedora 10: "Fesco has accepted echo-icon-theme as default icon theme for Fedora 10.[1] Which means we need to push harder to include as many icons as possible using guideline and echo-artist tool now available on rawhide and is waiting for people to get them on both Fedora 8 and 9"

MatthiasClasen outlined[2] the importance of having Echo as a default in the upcoming beta release "I think we need to act quickly to make Echo the default for the beta, to test the waters before F10" and soon after that he operated the change[3].

MartinSourada noted that the feature depends on the icon coverage "Just a note that Fesco (and many art team members as well) has some concerns about coverage. Simply said if we don't achieve the Mist/gnome icon themes coverage, we'll be rolled back to Mist and wait for another release" and offered to mentor new contributors.
