My French is a little rusty. Does that mean "workshop"? Who came up with
that name? How is it pronounced? And why? (I personally was starting to
like webartcom)

Are all participants of -marcom, -web and -artwork automatically subscribed
to this new list? What is the address? (So I can create a new mail filter)

Good!

When will this happen?

So, sort of a reward for participating? Interesting.... but might not work.

I think iamoverrated has already started doing this with a graphic
designer. I'm not sure on the details, we've been playing IRC tag for a
week or so...

How?

Where will we be hanging out? New channel? One of the existing channels?

Hah! I wish I had that much time to give to Mageia :P

I nominate Romain.

We will probably have to come up with three separate lines of advance. One
focusing on web, one focusing on distro-look and one focusing on PR. Sort
of to set our goals for each one. They will, of course, overlap, but the
end-products of each distinct line will be different.
