alright – I asked her to come up with something until Saturday, April 4. 
I'll go on vacation on Sunday, but I could publish the announcements (or 
send the requests) on/to the sites I mentioned on Saturday. The problem 
is that we don't know yet what the banner will look like, so maybe I 
should rather send the banner to the list and let you start with the 
announcements (with whatever banner you agree on).

BTW, what are your opinions on the "mailing list poster" definition?

"Persons who posted at least one message to any Lenya mailing list 
during the period of one year prior to the start of the contest"

Is this OK for everybody? (I sent another mail some days ago)

I'm not sure if these guidelines should apply here. The design contest 
is rather an informal act that is not covered by the project guidelines.

Do you think that the votes of people without any merit should have the 
same weight as the votes of mailing list contributors and committers? 
IMO the star system is a good way to honor the merit people have earned.

The rule applies only to people who posted at least one mail during the 
period of one year.

Thanks for the clarification Jürgen. I am not sure about the voting
part. We have clear guidelines on which votes counts for an official
vote (all PMC members have a binding vote). 

In the case of the redesign (and actually any other case) we normally
listen to all votes.

The problem I see is how to control this one year rule? Some people are
subscribed years without posting, other via newsgroups, etc.. 

IMO everybody should vote.

I'm not shure if we talk about the same thing here.
The one year subscription is not necessary to participants in the  
contest (they will submit their design pictures in a bugzilla entry)  
but rather for the voters.

The «one year» rule should ensure that there is no way to quickly  
subscribe and vote but rather be envolved a bit longer before gaining  
the right to vote.
I suggest to stick to the above mailing ist poster definition.

I must admit that I do not see the need for it. If a person just
subscribes to the list and post their proposals that is fine with me.
Why do they have to be subscribed before?

No, I'm sorry for the delay – my friend didn't come up with something 
until now, so from my POV we can proceed with what we have now.

Hi devs

I added a draft of the announcement for the design contest, and  
modified the dates.

My designer friend finally found the time to create a banner, I added it 
to the page. It says "Web Design Contest", though – if we choose this 
variant we should probably change it to "Website Design Contest".

BTW, I'm affected by deuteranopia [1], so the colors are more or less a 
shot in the dark :) If you like the other aspects of the design, feel 
free to change the colors.

Shall we postpone the deadline? At the moment it's June 30, maybe we

yes, I think this is the most professional one. The only minor issue is 
that it says "Web Design Contest" instead of "Website Design Contest". 
Can we live with that? Or shall I ask her to change it? Unfortunately I 
don't have an editable version of the banner.

I kinda got stuck a bit in the design process - I must confess that  
I'm not such a big fan of the logo itself; so my banner designs tend  
to move away from it; the result is then somewhat inconsequent. I  
agree with you, that the logo should be untouched. Changing it would  
be a different story.

I opt for the design of Your friend. But yours would be fine too; the  
colours look good there.

Any opinions here?

Maybe none of the banners meets our high quality requirements :)
How about publishing the announcement without a banner? Or we just use 
Jürgen's version, after all he came up with the idea.

the green or red/brown design?

Hi

Sorry for another delay - I am currently under some pressure at work.
And have only limited time for Lenya - I wish I could contribute more.

If things move on to snailish and someone would like to take over the  
lead on this one - that would be fine with me.
