As of the time of this writing, there are only 400 images left in the IBN Project’s first wave repository. As those are expected to be completed before the weekend, I wanted to go ahead and leave a few short words on where the project is heading after this image pack is released:
- I will be taking a break
- Project package distribution will no longer exist
- A new application-based distribution process will be observed (details here) for the second wave of images (currently a little over 13K)
- Project membership will be reset (you will need to resubmit to become part of the project)
- Contribution to the project will be anonymous (image submissions are not tracked)
- I will begin taking your actor packages so that missing actors can be added to the project
It took nearly 8 months to finish these 14K+ images, but the end is finally here. All those that contributed to this project can’t be thanked enough. All I can say is that your hard work will be enjoyed amongst tens of thousands of HTPC users very soon. It’s an amazing thought.
For those of you who have been sending in project contribution requests, I’m sorry I have not replied. The reason being is that all image packages are assigned, so there is no work to do. I will be closing the project submission form shortly and it will reopen when the second wave is ready to the public for editing.

I wish I had contributed more. But regardless, I’m grateful to everyone who did contribute and look forward to their hard work being on my HTPC.
