One slight clarification, and only in the terminology. While art.ubuntu.com is in the works and we ARE going to try and use the art.gnome.org code, that doesn't automatically make it a repository (which to my mind is something that can be accessed with a tool like apt). Fear not though, my definition of a repository is in the works as well. :o) Some of you may be familiar with the "gnome-art" application, which is basically a front-end for the artwork at art.gnome.org. The app's author is working with various art sites like art.gnome.org, gnome-looks.org, kde-looks.org, etc, and is trying to create a back-end system for everyone that would allow the gnome-art app to act somewhat like apt for artwork. You can find the app here: http://www.miketech.net/gnome-art/ The author even had a few "sneak preview" screenshots to show off to me: http://miketech.net/snap/ubuntu.png http://miketech.net/snap/settings.png All in all, I think this looks very promising. Unfortunately since the back-end spec hasn't even been finished, we won't see this functionality in Breezy. Just using the app's current abilities to access art.gnome.org can be fun for now though. :o) (The author (miketech), as well as myself, can often be found in #gnome-art on irc.gimp.org) Regarding our own art.ubuntu.com website, from what I understand we have the server all prepped and ready. We're just waiting to find out if we can and how to use the code from art.gnome.org. Hopefully this will happen soon. :o) -- Aaron Ubuntu SVG Artwork - www.volvoguy.net/ubuntu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere. ~ G.K.
