    I have an idea and I want support in this...
    We now have a launchpad site! http://launchpad.net/memaker
    Please visit and give advice!

    I want to make a community of people that make avatars in an organized manner. Currently in Ubuntu we don't have a wide selection of avatars to work with and it would be nice to have a little program that could make avatars for us.
    Like this link...
    http://www.dookyweb.com/avatars.swf
    We could have a site setup that people could use... or better, a nifty little program that can run in python and make avatars and set everything we have to use it.
    When we make a new avatar these could change:
    Login picture
    All accounts in gaim
    and other things...

    A step further would be to create a standard of creating the avatars so that people could make "packs" and downloading them gives us more things we can do to "ourselves".

    I think it would be fun to do. We could start by gathering supporters from the community.
    Who's with me!

    Our Project is making great progress!

    Although I'm not too good at making avatars, I like the idea. We could do the same thing as the avei creator on that site does except with tux.

    That could be one of many packages the could be install with the idea. Tahnks, oddly enough I didn't even think about tux.
    But there are not artists willing to help out here?

    You made that one up there? That's cool I will join if we could all have a theme like the one above. Some examples of my work:

    Can you do vector graphics with inscape? Maybe you can make some things to start with. I got these from a program found here...
    http://www.dookyweb.com/avatars.swf
    Problem with that program is it is copy writen and closed. We should make our own version in php for web or python. I prefer python because it can be a better part of ubuntu. Throw some ideas here. And lets see what the community thinks.
    I love your work... gorgous... all original? What tools did you use?

    Woah Nelly!

    Do you think you could create some vector graphics that we could you as pastable object with one another? If would be great if you could. I found a few open source avatar makers that run in php so I will set up my server and see how they work. Then work with that could from there. I am also taking the inkscap tutorials, I REALLY want to make something out of this.

    For now we could just create the objects used to make cool comic and other type avatars in inkscape or some other formate the people can easily work with. We could have all the objects and all you have to do is put them where they are supposed to be and save it to have ever format you want.
    I just threw this together in about 10 minutes... just to have proof of concept. People can play with the objects with little to no prior knowledge in inkscape.
