kwwiifor +1 I we are going to add a button to "get more backgrounds" or such14:02
knomeare they going to be packaged in a separate pkg?14:02
kwwiiprobably...we also thought about putting them in an ubuntuone share14:03
knomehmm14:03
knomei'd really like to see them as one package14:03
knomethat way eg. xubuntu users could use them easily14:03
mac_vhmm... > something wrong about this one :(  http://www.flickr.com/photos/jccamus/3233583409/in/pool-1188458@N2414:06
knomelike.. what?14:07
mac_vthe rocks look a bit dirty to me and/or the whites look like blotches14:08
knomemmh14:08
knomei wouldn't use such photo as wallpaper, but i can't see anything awful there :)14:08
mac_vif it was a blue whale the whites would have been good ;)14:08

thorwilthe problem with selecting photos for me was that too many lack in composition (like it was an alien concept to some of the submitters) and a number of photos are simply not sharp (or sharp in the right spot)14:26
mac_vhehe , i submitted one like that ;p  ,without sharpness14:30
mac_vthis one has a name on it ? o.0 , is that allowed> http://www.flickr.com/photos/eaguado/3566911719/in/pool-1188458@N24/14:33
