Hello!

I'm trying to start a new project - Ixons (Icons on Unix). Its aim is
to think about a way to manage all the icons for any desktop.

Interested?

Then have a look at http://ixons.info

Please tell me what you think about this.

1.      There is a standard for where global icons are installed.

2.      There was a recent attempt to develop a standard for where apps
        install their "private" icons but some major KDE developers
        objected.

3.      There is a project to standardize icon names.

When there is full compliance with #1, somehow #2 is resolved, and #3 is completed and implemented, will there still be anything for your project to do?

If not, I suggest that you join the project to standardize icon names:

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2ficon_2dnaming_2dspec

and participate in further development of the icon theme spec:
