Hi everyone!
Ok, we need to do this as soon as possible. Whatever we call the
package, it needs to created right away, as the deadline for Dapper is
getting closer every day.
So, now we need a list of what stuff should stay in tangerine and what
should be put in this extras/applications/whatever-package. If someone
could go over tangerine and write a list of stuff that needs to be moved
it would be great!
Note that this package would hopefully be a short term solution and
specific application icons should be pushed upstream at some point and
live in hicolor instead. Now we need to focus on making Dapper looking
good though.
Does everyone agree with this idea?
