The deadline for this was Wednesday, I spoke to at the braai and said we
need to review the Style Guide, it was agreed that we would do it
tomorrow night at the Clug Dinner.
Now there are things on Wiki that are black and pink and whatever other
colour, for everyone to use, not only is this confusing having to now
explain to everyone designing in Cyan and Black as well as Dusty pink,
that those are not the colours.
Yeah I just added the colours that have been already used on the wiki.
They have been used since the last two months already, and wasn't meant
as a suggestion for future use but just getting that page into better shape.
If we agreed to look at this tomorrow night and finalise it with Wed
deadline being the forefront, why are we now adding irrelevant stuff to
the Wiki, for everyone to get hold of?
I was not aware the deadline was pushed till this morning?
I'm adding whatever I can to the wiki at this point. There was no
deadline for this morning, not sure why you're asking about that. I'm
just trying to get that page structure as good as possible so that I can
add the correct information to it. If you want to withhold the
information and images until the deadline, that's your choice, but I
honestly think the way we're going about this is far from optimal.
There's a huge amount of technical design work that you're not familiar
with and it's not good that you do everything alone in isolation until a
deadline and *then* once the deadline is here, want feedback. It's
better if you open it up earlier so that we can work on it together and
fix some problems and directions early. We discussed this at DebConf and
both you and Bernelle assured me that we'd do differently so that we
don't end up with the same mess we had with the logo, and a month and a
half later we still don't even have a copy of the logo in a usable
format. Can you emphathize and realise that I'm slightly frustrated by
that too?
Having said that, I care about this and I don't want you to stress and I
want to help you and make this go smoother, but that can't happen unless
you let me help you.
Deadlines are set for a reason, and they seem to get pushed forward
every time someone panics instead of saying this is the deadline and you
can get the info on this date.
Again, there was no extra deadline set, and no need for panic. Really :)
