Sorry for being silent. Internet connection at my new apartment will
appear only tomorrow and I don't have much time for reading gmail at
work :(

Please don't duplicate. Let's have a release first :)

Yes, 0.1.0 would be better.

Roadmap needs updates. We actually need agreeement of following topics:

1. The name or root directory. Should we simply count pro/contra
voices for each?

2. Which exactly resources do we package? E.g. there are at least 4
color swatches files that are not included anywhere: Ubuntu palette,
KDE palette, GNOME HIG palette and the newest shiny Tango palette.

We need a reasonable decision about Cinepaint/GIMP similar resources
withe their bit depth difference (sorry about bringing this
potentially flaming topic back to life).

I'm about to have plenty of spare time this weekend to sit down and
merge available resources into one root directory with some sexy
placeholder name and upload it for you :) Anyone, jbjections?

3. How we package release. I suggest packaging a tar.bz2 with a signature.

4. How we let packagers from FC/SuSE/Mandrake/Gentoo/Debian/Ubuntu
etc. know about release.

5. Whether we upload their packages as well.

Both scons and makefile w/o autocrap is fine with me. Anyone, objections?

6. Who will create Windows installer?
