Echo is *just another* icon set that is coincidentally developed by some members of the Art Team who'd like to see it as a default icon theme Fedora wide (as opposed to gnome wide or kde wide) when ready for that. Does it bring anything to the wider upstream community? I hope that in the long run it will ease icon themes creation process for others as well (e.g. with helping with replacing unthemable icons by themable ones). Also I hope it will emerge into cross desktop icon theme used by much wider audience than just Fedora users. Does it bring anything to Fedora user? Different, more lively, more 3D-like art. Perhaps wider coverage of Fedora specific stuff (but that does not need to be limited to Echo). Is that a good thing? Seriously, who is to decide that? Definitely not me. I believe Art and Desktop Teams (and various other desktop SIGs when Echo gets selected for other DE's than gnome) together have the right to do so. If not, we'll continue to be just another alternative icon theme, developed by some of the fedora artists ;-) Martin
