Yes, IRC has it drawbacks, but it also makes discussing design a lot 
faster and effective than doing it on mailing lists. We need to be time 
effective if we're going to make the April 6th release date. All designs 
goes in the wiki though and most (if not all) also live in this repo 
http://gitorious.org/gnome-design
We totally need to make that stuff more visible though, and therefore I 
need your help with setting up a wordpress image blog where we can 
publish all the mockups (kind of like http://dribbble.com/). I can do 
the design bits, but need help with the other stuff.
When are you able to work on this?
