Hello, part 2... My background also includes several design classes (at the hobbyist level), and concerns about accessibility, so I see myself as an informed layperson.
I have reviewed what discussions are available to me (not much, just one page on the DF wiki:Design/Tango refresh 3.6; and one Nabble discussion: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/New-icons-in-Tango-td3905093.html#none) but I would like to know more about the history and the decision to use Tango icons before I jump in to discussions.
