** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: ubuntu-wallpapers
- 
  The wallpapers in Ubuntu come from the Ubuntu Wallpaper contest:
  
-   http://www.flickr.com/search/?m=tags&q=nattywallpaper
+   http://www.flickr.com/groups/ubuntunattyshortlist/
  
- There are fifteen winning entries, 12 photographic (as .jpg) and 3
- illustrative (as .pngs):
+ There are 27 shortlisted entries and a selection of those have been
+ chosen. There are two types of image, most are photographic (JPGs) with
+ a small number of non photographic images (PNGs).
  
-   1. Publish the list of winning entries
-   2. Gathering the licensing information so that every who has contributed 
gets credit!
-   3. Crop all the images to the same 2048px + size and aspect ratio
-   4. Tweak compression if required or way over (we can optimise this later)
-   5. Upload to main
+   1. Publish the list of winning entries on design.canonical.com
+   2. All images are CC-BY-SA which is a criteria for inclusion and this was a 
stated requirement of submission. Contributors have been asked to update the 
relevant metadata on Flickr
+   3. Scale all the images to the same 2000px width and corresponding height 
to maintain aspect ratio. If in doubt this should be done from the centre.
+   4. I understand that compression is managed when it's packaged so if it's 
oversize we can recompress/ reduce the number of images. For reference our 
current wallpapers are around 4mb and we anticipate this will be about the same 
size.
+   5. Upload to main

+ Note that it is not possible to directly download the images from the
+ shortlist group because not all members have Flickr Pro accounts. I have
+ sourced all the images we need and will attach them here.
+ 
+ The format of the filenames references the artist and I have named the
+ file using the existing convention of Image_name_by_Artist_Name.jpg/.png
