Anthere-
Just a word there
I wonder if the "you" is general, or if it is
"me".
Well, I had no idea how long the logo has been
there. Apologies if it was
not possible at the time to discuss these things.
first days of June 2002. More than a year ago.
From Erik very interesting stats, french Anthere first
contribution was made on the 26/05/02
english Anthere was older
english nothing even older
Erik...you know me...you know I would make noise do
you ?
But it could be worse:
The first Wikipedia logo was an American flag.
Imagine trying to impose
that on every 'pedia :-)
I don't even want to talk about it ;-)

Well, we can't know this for sure without a
poll...
what about setting a poll system ?
Ohhh, voting systems -- I'm all for it :-).
Me not really
but must admit that when the population interested is
over, say 25 people, the common consensus process is
problematic
However, the biggest issue would not so much to
"decide" upon a logo, but to have some acceptable
propositions:-)
Jimbo has not yet
authorized voting as a general decision making
process, otherwise I'd be
happy to set up a vote on what kind of changes can
and cannot be made to
the various international wikis. Note also that
there may be cases where
Jimbo has a different opinion than the majority of
users; for example,
Jimbo certainly has a strong interest in preserving
and strengthening the
Wiki[mp]edia brand, which is somewhat undermined by
too large variations
in the look and feel.
Agreed.

very interesting numbers !
perhaps biased for a lack of choice though
I'm all for new skins. Send me a good HTML mock-up
and I might even make
one myself. I like Tarquin's proposal for the most
part, even though it is
not much different from the standard skin. I do
think the bottom links
should not have been removed.
Regards,
Erik
I'll send you a flower instead. I am better with pict
than mock up html. Consider that training ;-)
Sunflower is ok ?
