[Tango-artists] KDE Tango Package

[Nick Bargnesi]

Thanks Niko, I was actually referring to the people page.  I had noticed there 
was a gnome maintainer, and it seems they have you to maintain or at least 
support KDE in some respects, so I think my original proposal is moot.

And I'm actually already using the tango icons on KDE, but thanks for the 
info!

Regards,
Nick
