You can add PLD Linux to that list. > * GNOME-ness: The community reports bugs in GNOME bugzilla and attach > patches, I review and commit in GNOME's SVN.

I'd suggest contacting either the Gajim team and asking them for their default iconset or contacting the Tango crew. I know this might sound offtopic but causes a major usability regression when former Gajim/Pidgin/whatever users are confronted with Empathy's interface. I'd also ask you to release tarballs often during the next 6 months so it's easy to judge if the project meets the expectations and if there is enough momentum to make it fully usable for 2.24.
