I propose that we have a mascot vote similar to the logo vote, possibly (but not necessarily) starting over. The current mascot frontrunner (the centepede) was voted over the course of six months, but not many people have voted for any of the mascots the mascots (at least compared to the logo vote). Many people voted before the Miwiki project was started and didn't see how well it would turn out.

We don't need to start all over for the mascots, we just need to publicize it more to get more entries and, more importantly, more votes. When voting on variants for the elected logo, it seems that Mav vetoed all miwiki variants because the centepede is winning by 3 votes (or was it for some other reason?). I don't think that's enough of a margin. I think that the mascot should be on the logo some way or another. I think to get more people to vote on the mascot, all we need to do is publicize it on the main page and set a deadline. If you don't want a mascot, that's fine, but then we need to say that we don't want a mascot and not have this ongoing vote. LDan
