[DISCUSS] Assessing viability of an Apache Graphics & UX project

[Daniel Gruno <hu...@apache.org>]

Hi folks,
as have been discussed on a few other lists, there is an ogoing 
thought/idea of creating a project to handle graphics and user 
experience aspects of projects where the projects themselves either fall 
short, where pooling human resources and policies may make sense, and 
where the broader foundation level items can be worked on.

To this end, I'm soliciting input from fellow Apache people as well as 
anyone else interested in perchance joining in. This discussion is 
three-fold, as I'd love for us to figure out the following:

- Willingness / body count: How many people would be interested in 
putting in actual work here, how many would be interested in this from a 
more managerial point of view, and can we get sufficient ASF membership 
oversight to possibly aim for a straight-to-TLP here.

- Scope/tasks: What sort of ideas do people have for the scope and 
mission of such a project. Solely graphics/logos/webdesign/photos, or do 
we dare expand that a little, and if so, what needs to be added? Do we 
want to segue a little bit into publishing guides and best practices for 
documentation and what not? I suspect this will ultimately be a matter 
of finding the scope with the largest support.

- (non-hostile) Takeovers: Are there existing problems/challenges within 
projects or the foundation we can already identify and work on possibly 
putting into this project? This could be anything really, something that 
we'd love to see done already.

If you, dear reader, have input for any of the above topics, or perhaps 
something I left out, do reply to this thread on dev@community and let's 
see if we can muster up enough people to get something going :)

With regards,
Daniel.

PS: Please, don't just +1 this email blindly. If you are willing to join 
in whatever capacity, indicate what you're willing to sign up for as 
well as your experience with the ASF (even if you're someone like jim, 
others might not know you!). If you agree with something I said, state 
so, possibly elaborate, or tell me where I got everything wrong.

I'm willing to be part of a PMC that coordinates this effort.

I think documentation help, reviewing docs etc. might also be part of
the charter. But that can emerge once the PMC is created, so maybe for
now just select a name that's not too limiting. "Central Services PMC"
was mentioned earlier. Or maybe "Apache Makeup PMC" in the sense of
stuff that you add on things to make them look better ;-)

There might be some overlap with http://apache.org/press/ so I think
we need to coordinate with that team before finalizing this project.

+1 ;-)

Hi, Daniel;
I would be willing to participate from a "managerial" point of view. My 
graphic design skills aren't so great, but I can do magic with scripts 
and things like that (which isn't often needed by projects).
