After discussing on IRC with Diana, we came to conclusion for the
following deadline :

september 25th : deadline for submission
25 to 29th september : finalisation of the suggested artwork

I have to give the art team the following elements : 

 * How a gradient it managed by the manufacturer ? 
 * It is considered as a 2 colors artwork or not ? 
 * Has the printer a template ? 
 * What kind of file they would like to have ? 
 * If it is possible to print artworks as well on paper cases.

I'll do my best to provide these informations, i.e. tomorrow morning or
not before next wednesday.

Thanks
