Atelier feedback and wishes

This page is meant for everyone to report, in the wild, things that should/could be done to improve in Mageia regarding several related aspects: identity, design, branding, marketing, communication, artwork, Web, UX.

Please understand that this page will be regularly, heavily edited by the Atelier team. So don't be surprised if your entry is removed, changed, mixed, whatever. And understand that some feedback may even be bluntly ignored. We will munge and reduce all inputs into a smaller list we can act on and will port these actions into bugs.mageia.org.

Please use the following template, and add your entry at the bottom of the list

Let the users and artist to decide the artwork

  • make artwork is in the build of a distro a work as hard as others, so may consider set polls where users and artist vote the artwork, comment if a artwork not accomplish with the rules of the artwork contest, etc.
  • if board likes other artwork different to the community choice, don't drop the community choice, instead if is possible offer both as alternatives at installation time, if that is not possible document in the wiki the alternative artwork.
