Space for wallpapers in Fedora 16

[Máirín Duffy]

Hi everyone,

The Fedora design team had a meeting today for Fedora 16 planning and
we'd like to try for a four-wallpaper pack for Fedora 16. (We can
provide a slideshow XML file for GNOME, if KDE / XFCE / LXDE support
something like slideshows let us know and we can try to provide it).

We wanted to provide a heads up so that you could account for the space
early on in the cycle if you wanted all of the wallpapers for your spin;
in the past when we've done a slideshow set it has caused last-minute
space issues: we'd very much like to avoid that.

Based on previous wallpapers and the high resolution we are targeting,
6-8 MB is probably a good guesstimate of the maximum amount of space we
might need. In the end, we may need to pull back and focus on really
polishing only one of the wallpapers; as the release progresses we can
keep you updated on what to expect.

If you're interested in following the artwork progress, we have an
artboard here: http://publictest04.fedoraproject.org/artboard/

Is this okay?

Thanks,
~m

(As a favor to me, I'd appreciate it very much if you could keep me on
the CC of replies :) )

One suggestion I have is get something in early that is about the right
size even if it doesn't look good. That will provide an early warning
to people about potential size issues that might miss or forget about
the heads up notice later on.
