Hi again,
I think more that anything, the thing that's irking me here is the fact
that we've got these icons in the "website logo" position on the page.
When you put *an* icon there, you're saying graphically that "this is
the site of X". To a certain degree, if we see ourselves a sub-project
of GNOME, then that would be OK -- lots of GNOME projects take on the
GNOME icon. But I don't think that this "works" in the case of the
python icon. And further: to have have *two* icons in this special
position on the page creates confusion, as I already argued.
Perhaps another approach would be to have them in a panel down one side,
with some short text explaining each one: that PyGTK can be used to
develop applications for the GNOME environment or any other applications
that support the GTK+ toolkit, for applications that you write in the
Python language.
Cheers
JP

Why on earth should there not be a python icon? Can one use PyGtk for
anything else than Python? Sure PSF doesn't own PyGTK, but the logo is
used to promote Python and show that this page has relevance to
Pythoners. However, about logo usage, Panos check the www.python.org for
guidelines when it is appropriate to use/modify it.
But let me ask you. Why should there be a Gnome icon? Does Gnome own
PyGTK?
Hmm...let this not lead to a flame fest.
All PyGTK users are Python users too, but not all of them are GNOME
users.
But without GNOME there is no GTK and so no PyGTK.
So let there be both icons to promote both GNOME and Python.
PyGTK is not just binding around GNOME libraries.
PyGTK is binding around GNOME and Python Communities.

Baiju M
