I will quote from the wiki page: "brings a friendly personality to the project and reaches out to our target audience".<BR/><BR/>A mascot is something funny and friendly, it help people identify with the project and also make the project look more human.<BR/>On top of that, a mascot makes good material for t-shirts and plush figures.<BR/><BR/>And some people think the time spent playing with graphics is quality time...<BR/><BR/>Indeed, the parrot is the only "professional grade", but this is mostly because other graphics are not finished and have not evolved beyond the "concept"phase.nicuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787116898361050437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-24918512206132514202007-07-20T13:46:00.000+03:002007-07-20T13:46:00.000+03:00A mascot would be nice, perhaps.But what purpose d...A mascot would be nice, perhaps.<BR/><BR/>But what purpose does it solve?<BR/><BR/>The only professional grade mascot there is the parrot, I like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-64965963742612180342007-07-20T10:08:00.000+03:002007-07-20T10:08:00.000+03:00I'd like to have a mascot, but the community shoul...I'd like to have a mascot, but the community should think hard what sort of mascot it should be (impersonating Fedora and not just any mascot).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
