Ooo, splash screens.  So my bet is that to make these ready, we
probably need closure on the wallpaper theming -- in other words, if
there's a radical change in the wallpaper, it could affect the way the
splashes look.

I remember seeing some Planet Fedora entries concerning the wallpaper
and soliciting feedback.  Is there a need to sort out that feedback
and figure out what's actionable and applicable to the wallpaper
theme?

So I'm obviously not an artist or able to make any of this material.
But is there anything I can do to help ensure it *does* get made by
the team?

It would be wonderful to see, after the wallpaper gets updated however
the team sees fit, a bunch of people helping to prepare the graphics,
banners, and media art over the next couple of weeks.  That way we
have everything lined up to go for the F13 Beta launch, and for the
people who are going to give their time to get media produced all over
the world.

Would it be helpful to file these as tickets and then get them
assigned to some of the designers on the team?
