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?
