Janet,

It's before tea/coffee time, but what is a mashup?
:P
Anything where someone starts something and someone else changes or mixes more things into it. The result can include effort by a range of people. Think free open source shapes. YouTube speak I guess. eg If you do a logo and i rewangle it and someone else adds a typeface and it comes up with something nifty traditional logo comps would expect one winner. There is a disincentive to collaborate inherent in the 'win a prize' ness. Just wondered if people had examples of mixed winnings. The inkscape logo was something which had a range of participants. Some of the other logos probably have multi input too. If there is a project eg a CD of foss music and invite folks to contribute cover art I was just wondering how to have fun with the collaborative habit on that kind of thing without making it a one person win thing.
