Fix promotion issue

[rumkin]

I know that Ethereum as an organization provides poor promotion to its' members and it should be fixed. But it doesn't mean that members of the team should take advantage of their position and put advertisement into the community/project resources wherever they want.

I've already reported this problem with "New artwork" plate and I've just found an artwork authors' links in the site footer. Footer links are very high ranking by search engines and it's strange to see this long list of coauthors right there. Who are all of this people? What have they done for Ethereum, except of this glance picture like hundreds of others around the Web? Where Gavin Wood's link, Richard Moore's, or Ethereumjs' team members? For me It looks like nepotism and I strongly dislike that.

Members promotion processes should be transparent, publicly audited and more inclusive. Now it's completely opposite. It should be solved with the next steps:

• Provide schedule for renewing artworks: monthly, weakly, daily. This term shouldn't be longer than a month.
• Create a queue of artworks (It could be separated repo with issues as a queue).
• Call other designer to participate via Ethereum's twitter account and site notification.
• Give artwork authors ability to provide a link to their portfolio and one or two paragraphs of text to say something.
• Create a blog where the team members could write articles about their work.
• Add blog entries' titles into the main page.
• Create lists of current and ex-members of the team.
• Create artworks site section where all artworks could be seen.

Hey Rumkin - thanks for raising this.

It is an intended feature of Ethereum.org that as we rotate through new HERO artwork, the site brings recognition to artists and designers in our community. The artists who created the current artwork are not part of the core website team - they are independent artists who were hired to create artwork for it. We'll always give appropriate credit to artists featured on the website, just as there is always appropriate credit for articles linked on the website.

We're continuing to improve our process for soliciting, reviewing, and approving new artwork, and many of these are good suggestions. We already have a list of the current website team members in the ReadMe, and we are planning to create an "assets" page that includes previous artworks from the website. But as we figure out how to do this more regularly and "at scale", it will continue to be an editorial process for now.
