Re: Fwd: swag stores

Ok, so here is the action plan -

I spoke to neverendingo (Ingo) and he agreed to make a shop gallery code.
The idea is to have a very simple page (from the mechanics, lot looks point
:P ) that will show all the design we have + some kind of a nice "Swag of
the month", or "Best Buy" slideshow on top. Each of the design will simply
link to that design on the site that provides the printing.
Why do a double work? Printing site already has a gallery!
Well, having the page under our own domain makes it *official* vs "a page on
some service site"
And, more importantly, it does not tie us to a singe service, allowing us to
switch if we need to at any time.

What we need:
We need to decide on the sub-domain name for the page, something like
swag.kde.org

Best Regards,


Eugene Trounev
