Thanx to all who have congratulated up on the 0.50 release. Continue to
enjoy and tell folks about the set. :)


So, this email is, or might be a mixed up jumble of thoughts. Let's see
what happens. ;)

>From here Sebastien and I have been thinking on how to proceed. We have
both agreed that the pace of icon creation and acceptance has been a bit
hurried and we think stylistic consistency has been a bit compromised.
So, with that in mind we will be freezing Breathe from new icons (with
the exception of the base mime) for an undetermined amount of time.
Really as long as it takes to review and revise what we currently have.

The major part of the review will be palette and style consistency. As
well as thematic strength. (basically how well does the icon communicate
what it's use is?)

Daniel has done some very nice work on pulling the palette in line but
Sebastien and I share some saturation concerns. Independent reviews
outside of Ubuntu are have expressed similar concerns. I will be putting
up a package with Daniel's edits for testing this weekend.

This review will be a dead honest one. Very few icons will be safe. None
of it will be personal. We just need to take a hard look at what we have
before we move on.

The conclusion of this review (meaning debate and subsequent work) will
be our next release.


Ok. Next. I'm looking for a wiki maintainer. Someone who follows when
new icons are added to BZR and does all the proper linking for them to
show on the wiki. This position will require someone who is willing to
stay on top of this. It will also require some minimal training. An
addition, if this person is already good with MoinMoin and can really
spruce up our current pages that will be a big plus.

Note that this is not an invite for anyone to just start editing. ;) I
want to assign someone the task. Preferably someone not already involved
with Breathe.


Hmm... That wasn't too bad. :)
