Maybe we need another collabortion-tool. This jira.toolserver wasnīt 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 isnīt 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,
itīs not the money, Iīm 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. Isīt 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
