Hi LGM friends,

We have a didicated page on the Create wiki to gather our ideas:
http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Libre_Graphics_Association

I have not much time these days to fill more but I guess that portions of
the text by John Haltiwanger could fit there.

The ML is perfect for discussions so this thread is useful, imo. The Create
wiki is our main repository for ideas and let’s continue using it.

Cheers!

Louis

p.s. No further developement about the Libre Graphics name held by Sebastian
Bulzak who has no phone number and seems to be difficult to get in touch
with, even if we live in the same city... I put here again the full contact
info we have on him so we might be able to get in touch face to face one
day... I guess this should also be put on the wiki so it’s stored in a
convenient place! Looking through emails takes time!
