Well, my previous question was rather serious, because this kind of
things can be used to attract people. For example: what about a contest
"Vote for our Xfce mascot's name"? People like contests and Xfce may
realease another press note and stay on folks' mouth without annoying
the note's recipients.

I've already tested that method in OpenOffice.org for the OOo school
project's mascot and it worked.

However, this is something for the future.
