Sure. Sorry for lagging behind with this a bit, just came back from LGM
in Lyon.
I'll fix the wiki as soon as possible.

As leader you might delegate it to Pascal now that he has joined the
Tangerine project ;-P

Hi folks
Thanks to Daniel's great work you can see the current progress and
priorities of the Human theme, and how it looks next to the Tango and
GnomeDefault icon themes. We will make sure that icons which Dave has
published will move quickly into the Human theme so you can always see
the latest work.
I am writing to propose the creation of "Tangerine", a completely
community-contributed and owned theme which would sit between Human
and Tango in the theme order list. This would mean that icons which
are NOT in Human but ARE in Tangerine would appear in preference to
Tango or GnomeDefault icons.
Tangerine would start out with a selection of Tango and GnomeDefault
icons. If you see the current icon priority page has comments on the
right hand bar, and many of them say "Use Gnome" or "Use Tango".
That's my own personal selection as to which of the Gnome or Tango
icons I think would look better given that we won't have time to
create our own.
Tangerine would be managed by the community as follows:
- one person will be selected by the community to be the Tangerine Lead
- up to three people will get direct write access to the repository
- the rest of the community would contribute icons to those core
theme writers, who would choose which icons go into Tangerine, using
your own community processes
Hello Mark!
I can step up and maintain this, and I bet I have lapo with me on this,
however there are some problems.
Gnome-icon-theme is licensed under GPL, while Tango is licensed under
CC-SA and I'm not sure it is legally possible to create a theme with a
mishmash of licenses. It would probably be possible to keep the themes
in separate packages, delete icons like stock-save in tango and tangofy
that icon in gnome-icon-theme (and as tango depend on g-i-t it would
fall back to that and it would use the one from g-i-t). I'm not sure
that is a good solution though.
It would be nice to have some more info on why some icons in human or
gnome was chosen instead of the tango ones, so that we either can fix
this upstream or fix tango in dapper to use some better metaphors/styles.
