Developers must use STOCK items properly.

The Tango project is the right answer.

However I am more interested in applications getting the infrastructure
rather than the Tango palette and Tango theme being developed.  The
infrastructure is what is really important but the other aspects of Tango
do seem like a logical way to generate interest and establish a widely
acceptable equivalent to what Red Hat tried to achieve with BlueCurve and
drive the adoption of the infrastructure.

Yes very much so but I'm no longer a student and currently seeking
employment (bills to pay) so I will not be able to help out as much as I
might like to.  (I learned a little about the planned project months
ago but even then I had difficulty dragging myself away from other
projects and find a way to help out which I probably should have
apologised to Jimmac about.)

This is definately a good idea and I hope it is something Create can be
closely associated with and maybe the Tango contributors will take an
interest in the wider goals as they become more successful with Tango.
