[Clipart] Less than a week until Spring Package release!

[Brad Phillips]

Yes, packaging Wed & Thurs. release sounds great!

Here's a draft of the next year of package releases.  Let me know  
what you guys think about this.
The only month where nothing immediately came to mind was August.

Also, some of these themes we had been thinking could be larger,  
quarterly packages (Halloween-Thanksgiving-Christmas, New Year's- 
Valentines-Easter, etc).
Does it make sense to leave these major holidays off of the monthly  
release schedule, or could it simply work to package all of the work  
from these months into quarterly releases, rather than push for new  
content on top of new content.

Any suggestions or changes are more than welcome to the following  
list.  What do you all think?

July 2010
