Hello, and Welcome to this Graphics abilities Category.
Commons is a graphical/audio project, and we need to know who is able to do what. This Graphics abilities Project aim to categorise users function of their graphical and audio abilities. You can help the Project by spreading these templates by :

  • adding these templates to your user page, or suggest to an other user to add one to his/her user page.
  • categorise yourself on your user page with graphic/media abilities [[Category:Bitmap graphics editors]] , etc.

This categorisation is needed to work more efficiently, find help quicker, and share knowledge (teach/learn) with other Wikicommons users and editors.
Your contribution is also welcome to complete tutorials.

Tutorials

You also can help commons by writing a Basic tutorial for one of the 5 kinds of work listed above. The aim is that the beginner should be able achieve level n⁰1 (or 2). Each tutorial should contain :

  1. an Introduction as an overview (best format, best free software, interest of this kind of work, interest for wikimedia)
  2. some examples of files
  3. a presentation of the use of free graphics software (ex: Inkscape for SVG, Adobe/GIMP for Bitmap, etc.), and a link to Commons:software to download it.
  4. a little protocol [pen / brush / paint pot]
  5. and better level protocol.

This is mostly needed for beginners. Help them to find well-known software will help collaboration and the sharing of files.
PS: You can move/rename Tutorial page if needed.


Transform commons into a true working graphist community

The Graphic Lab and the Graphic Village Pump aim to transform Commons from an uploaders' community to a true working graphist community, based on the four graphic skills and interests categories.
This project is in the beginning stages: please talk everywhere about it. Feel free to request image improvements as well. Active contributors are also really needed to lead the project too. We need all this to start !
