Maybe we need another collabortion-tool. This jira.toolserver wasn´t easy to handle. I thing there are a lot others (open source) we should test. There should be a discussion-board for example (chat options?) The Wiki isn´t very comfortable for diskussions also. Is it possible to get an own server for the project itself? I think about tools like "SugarCRM" or "Moodle" and others, used as instruments - we could evaluate wich one give us the best basics an how we can "encroached" them.

Hi Brianna, it´s not the money, I´m wondering what going on with the project itself? No other round, the first round was closed before I could asigned next illustration and so on. Is´t still alive?
I think it is safe to say that it won't continue in its current format (how Round 1 was conducted). It is too time intensive to be done properly, and having it done poorly would not benefit anyone IMO.
To explain a bit, I consider "done properly" to include
- evaluating suggestions
** for worthiness ** for suitability as illustration ** for availability of third party references
- finding self-suggestions when needed
- conducting moderately thorough check to make sure no free image
seems to exist yet
- describing the request sufficiently so that an illustrator has
enough information to understand what the request is for
- reviewing submissions, including
** checking against reliable third party references ** checking for basic SVG features (text as text, good colour contrasts)
So the question of "what next" is a bit up in the air. It's perhaps possible that the scope of the project might be able to shift a bit, although this is not certain. So I would say, if you have some interesting idea about how to conduct a project like this, feel free to the idea forward now.
cheers Brianna
