So,
Some newsgroup header meant this didn't make it to the list,
Apologies,
Michael.

So,
The traditional way to solve this is to have a responsive maintainer
that approves (and/or rejects - with suitable comments) changes to the
icon set.
It's also normal in such a situation for some received wisdom such as
choice of palette, constraints etc. to get communicated clearly.
Obviously having a guiding vision behind a coherent set of icons is
great, but having lots of people working on a set is good too ;-) so
far, there has been no useful collaboration / communication whatever
from the outside with the Sun art team [1], fixing that situation is
clearly vital.

IMHO if the use of this web tool causes pain, and is unusable by
others, Sun should shoulder the burden here; and ultimately [ AFAIR ]
good icons take ~3 hours each to draw ; [ in 2 sizes ], and as such it's
unlikely that inserting 4 or 5 per day in some web tool is going to
cause much grief :-)

Can you make sure this is clearly defined in the wiki ? also - when sts
goes on vacation etc. is there somewhere else they can be CC'd (which
will usefully preserve timestamps etc.)

Dragons be there I suspect.
HTH,
Michael.
[1] - at least, I never saw any.
