The previews look amazing! However, I wonder if it is smart to
"keep Oxygen fresh for KDE 4, that will be released sometime in the middle of 2006."

In the meanwhile, potential contributors might be drawn to improving Tango not because its icons are better, but simply because Tango draft icons are already available in SVG format.

It might also be a good idea to include a TODO list on the Oxygen website saying which icons still need to be done. This would help channel efforts into the areas that need most work.

I don't like the Tango icons, they look cartoonish, unaesthetical. Probably the worst icons made for GNOME so far. Still nuvola beats the hell out of Tango icons. But then it's my personal taste. I also don't like to see Tango influence this project since I believe that the KDE people are doing better in any ways.

I think Tango will be great at least for creating standard icon naming conventions. It would be great if a great GNOME icon theme could be used on KDE and a great KDE icon theme could be used on GNOME. Both sides have some really talented graphic designers.

Afaik the icon naming convention already existed before Tango.
