Hi all,
it's been a while since we have done anything... Given that I'm currently the only one who's currently doing anything on Echo icons (if anyone else is doing something, please speak up!), I thought it's undesirable to keep developing two concurrent icon themes. I'd like to obsolete the former Echo Icon Theme with Echo Perspective. I've done the most necessary changes on wiki already and closed old tickets mostly with WontFix resolution. My goal is to keep depending in Echo Perspective on Echo Icon Theme until until we've covered what's missing and then fully obsolete Echo Icon Theme by it. Probably the last update to Echo Icon Theme will be adding symlinks to cover xdg folders.
This is a sane approach, keep focused and don't spread the resources thin.
I would also like to shift our focus from Gnome Desktop Environment to Xfce as our primary target because Gnome is having too different goals from us (we're going for modern, detailed and vibrant colours, while gnome goes mostly B&W with symbolic icons...). Of course I'll be myself creating primarily icons to cover apps I use ;-)
Make sense. If someone is interested in both Echo Perspective and GNOME, he can join and do the needed work.
Please read through these changes and offer your comments, I'll start implementing them in the meanwhile. If there's enough opposition and I'll have already done some change, I can always revert it back ;-)
No objection, it looks like you have a solid plan.
