I wouldn't assume that; most of us have been working with the Cocoon
web site for a long time now and there's a lot of talent in the
development group.

Personally, I grew up in a family of artists that also ran an art
gallery so I realise that everyones opinions on any given piece of
artistic content are going to vary widely. However, having been
involved in web site design since it first became possible to be
involved in web site design I do think we need to go through a limited
critiquing process and that the development community is as good of
source of opinions as any.

I'm not opposed, but I'm not sure that getting more opinions will help
any? What value do you think they would add?
