My idea based on our previous approaches:
1. sketching the base concepts (ideas accompanied by simple pictures)
We should decide here about the way to go: like F11, trying to get a
concept/metaphor and everybody working toward it or like F8-F10 with an
open "competition".
I think neither of those worked very well...
2. get initial approach wallpapers into Alpha (concept should be
decided
upon, wallpaper should look good, but needs not to be polished). This is
where we need to get feedback (most of the design team people blogging
about it?) and reflect on it. If more concepts are still being discussed
over, have them all in the release (automatically change the different
concepts so that we users/testers wouldn't need to change them
manually?)
According to the schedule, we have Alpha freeze on 2009-08-04 and Alpha
release on 2009-08-18.
Maybe we should set a date before the Alpha freeze (a number of weeks
after the release name announcement) as a deadline for *concept*
submission, so we have the time for a selection before the freeze?
3. have most of the artwork covered by Beta (based on the alpha
feedback
we'll build a theme upon a single selected concept; after this milestone
we must not change the concept so that we'll have enough time to fill
the holes and do final polishes)
+1
4. polish for RCs and Final so that the release artwork will be
awesome
and breath taking ;-)
