I've been meaning to put something together for a few days here..
shots to Brian isn't the best way to go about it as nobody knows who has sent what. Have you actually got any yet Brian?
First, take a look at:
http://www.theshell.com/~vinn/ss
Quite a few folks have sent stuff in. Now, after looking at so many screenshots and trying to evaluate them for content I've realized a few things..
1) We're absolutely going to have to insist on 800x600 resolution. Thanks for all the ones so far, but really the only usable ones are the 800x600. (There are exceptions, such as Mike's Quicktime one that can be resized nicely.)
2) Screenshots of an application doing something are the way to go. For instance, the one Mike just sent me showing Adobe's SVG plug-in in IE is WAY cool. Unfortunately it's not usable because of the resolution. Even a pull-down menu being pulled down is enough.
3) Cluttered desktops suck. You don't need to have 3 terminal windows, Mozilla, and everything else in the background. For the most part I think the screenshots have followed that rule closely.
Okay, here's the deal.. Thomas Wickline volunteered to do screenshots of these apps:
Office 2000 and everything in it lotus notes Quicken Quick Books visio
Carlos Lozano did shots for the "gold" list apps. I'm going to ask him for some more here in the future.. (unbeknowst to him)
The following would be nice to see: any game the exact same screenshot Mike Hearn sent of IE/SVG except at 800x600 Adobe Photoshop
Anything else is fair game. I'll put screenshots on that URL above, so check there before doing any.
