The key to success is often the ability to adapt...

KDE-Artists.org has been in transition lately. We have shifted our focus to make our site more informative to the artists that use KDE. So in the future you can expect more news articles about the current state of Open Source graphic tools and tips, tricks for using them. The site will still be used as a place for our artists to find the current HIG/CIG guidelines as they are made available.

Our plan is to give the user/concept developers better tools to communicate their mock-ups and ideas. It has been amazing to see how these ideas have gone from artists mock-ups to usability reviews and more. It has also become obvious that they are not just about artwork anymore. After alot of work and testing we are just a few weeks away from debuting a new site which will contain many tools that have not been available to the developers and users at Kollaboration. Anybody interested in following the concepts and usability opinions that the users at Kollaboration have created will also be pleased to know that they will be easy to keep track of by using rss feeds provided by each "collab". The site will be relocating to a new server and be sporting its own domain name so any body currently linking to the Kollaboration forums should be aware that in a couple of weeks you will need update your link/s.
