https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/ serves its purpose, but I find it rather hard to be productive.
Here are my problems:
* I find it hard to navigate (especially when there are over 30+ themes to view)
* I find it hard to comment on pieces of artwork (the site is slow and the wiki is awkward -- ie, when I sign it, it takes me to my personal preferences, not to the page I wanted to edit)
* There is no general consensus on which theme is currently the most well received by the community (maybe a voting system like Ubuntu Brainstorm is in order?) -- is the theme I am currently looking at dead? Has one already been chosen? I don't know.
* Every author gets to edit his or her own page and this makes every submission really lack uniformity. What if a sever could install the theme pack, provide three basic screenshots of itself and use that for the screenshots? Think
http://browsershots.org
* Maybe easy linking to gnome-looks.org would be necessary too (but that is another website that needs some accessibility upgrades)
* A tutorial on how to make a new theme would be fantastic, including rules on what colours to use for the theme. I've seen all sorts of green, grey and blue themes, but under half of them are actually Ubuntu colours. Should they be submitted as Ubuntu colours or can we choose whatever we want?
* A standard screenshot of 1024x768 should be default for people on laptops
* It would also be nice to have user/submission separations much like that of Brainstorm, where I can have multiple submissions and people can vote on them. The only thing that would be necessary is separating votes for versions, ie 1.0, 2.0, 2.1, etc.
