Re: The First FF Imaging Contest

[Alfredo Mateus <almateus@globalsite.com.br>]

I posted an image to the contest, just to test the system and to get
things started. Go to http://www.i-us.com/plughead/ and check the
contest thread.

Now to answer Cliff's message:

Well, there are two problems with images such as png, psp or psd
(photoshop's format). One is that Netscape cannot show them. The second
is that they can be quite large in file size. I guess you could contact
the author to get more info on the image, get a file in another format
or ask for copies of the FF filters used, etc.
I hope the contest leads to a lot of discussion, my idea is to get more
of the 200 members of the list involved + people from outside.

What would be the new category? I think I have a good chunk of space at
i/us, but we can mirror the images if somebody wants to.
