i honestly really like the idea to turn this into a collection that is just placed wherever we can. there is no strong reason that we have to bunch everything up in one place. it actually makes things a lot easier. if we have more time than expected (those are "only" 10k pixels after all :P), we can always add more. running out of time? omit some of the later designs
The advantage of a collection in one place is that it is easier to make a template of and so to organize.
yeah, it is a lot easier to create a template once and be done with it. that said, i don't think that making a template for a more scattered approach is the hard part. organizing and communicating to everyone what the latest revision of that template is would be
with one big image (where everything is collected in one place) we would also have to quickly set a boundary around the entire design before anyone else starts to claim parts of it. focusing on one or two smaller designs instead could make the initial rush a good bit more survivable, while also allowing us to utilize space left in between other projects as the event progresses
Both approaches have valid arguments and honestly I can't say which would be better for our group.
Regarding organization: I think with a central and fast communication it would be doable. Other groups use Matrix. We (I) could also create a group. This would add the benefit that we could get a number on how many people have how much time to pixel and so plan our resources.

agreed. +1 vote for matrix. would make organization easier and we do not have to rely on lemmy sending notifications...
I'm all for using Matrix. Re: the design, we could potentially put together something akin to the paw from last year that we start with (something that clearly says 'There's furries working on this' as a sort of rallying flag to anyone else who wanted to join in), then coordinate satellite drawings via Matrix. If we post the initial design in the coordination thread, with a link to the matrix chat, we could potentially get some other folks to help, too (and contribute their own smaller things).
Having a "furry corner" was nice last year, but given that our designs aren't really integrated into one thing that has to be kept together, it probably makes sense to take this approach.
