    BukkitDev needs new category icons
    The category icons we currently use on BukkitDev are very vague and generic. We need icons that are distinct, tell you what the category is at a glance, are properly themed and are relatively high quality. If you're a talented graphics artist who specialises in icon creation and has a love for Minecraft, we'd like to give you the opportunity to leave your aesthetic mark within the Bukkit community by helping us put together a well-thought out, visually pleasing and informative set of category icons for BukkitDev.

    Email staff+bukkitart -at- bukkit.org with your applications if you are interested in helping BukkitDev update its style. Please put “Artist Application: ” and then your username in the subject.

    Well I heard a staff member before answer something like this and he said that, that requirement is only 0.098 percent of the total application.

    I think the post you're referring to was actually by a Plugin Developer :p.
    And I'm sure it's more than that anyway - you would need to prove you're dedicated to the site.

    Yeah, I didn't really want to be a mini-mod as I have no jurisdiction over the forums and it's content.

    To the people asking about eta

    From what I can tell, they go through a few applications together when they have time, if they come across someone who they think should be promoted they discuss it and if they decide to do it, they notify the person. As for the people they skip over, afaik they haven't responded saying that. I think once they finish going through the applications (more which come everyday even now) they'll probably make a post saying these are the people we picked.

    Me personally? No, I'm new so it wouldn't make sense to do the picking. I have voiced a few opinions though.

    I would say that is doesn't matter - as you have given them your Bukkit forums username in your application.

    I'd rather not turn this into a "Did my application get through" thread. If you really must know you can PM me and I can try to help you.

    I'll PM you in a moment Walker.

    He was explaining that it doesn't state anywhere in the requirements that you had to send your applications with the same email used to create your bukkit.org account.
