I think github (or maybe bitbucket, does mercurial have the same
issues as git for dealing with images?) is probably the way to go. we
need something where people can do social coding without a lot of
permissions overhead. (As an example, our graphic designer did some
work on the postgres logos for LISA this year, but couldn't get past
the pgfoundry process to give that back publicly; if it had been on
github, it would have been much simpler to do a pull request).
