[Tango-artists] Dojo Toolkit icon project

[Nikolai Onken]

Hi all,

I am not sure whether this list is the right place to send this email  
to, if it's not please let me know.
I am core developer of the Dojo Toolkit, one of the leading JavaScript  
frameworks and currently working
on redesigning the themes. You can see current progress:

vs. current state

Please excuse the slowness of the loading process, the files are not  
optimized at all and are just serving a testing purpose.

One major drawback of the visual effectiveness of the toolkit is the  
lack of a good icon set, there are icons - some really bad ones, some  
less.
Most other libraries just take their icons from other sources but we  
would like to see if we can create a Dojo specific icon library.

I was wondering what the best way would be to set up an effort to  
create such a Dojo Toolkit specific icon theme and am wondering if  
there are
people interested in joining such an effort (would this then be the  
Tango Dojo Icon library?).
The licensing model of the Dojo toolkit is completely open, we use a  
modified BSD or Academic Free License.
I personally live in Amsterdam, Netherlands, most core developers  
currently reside in the US.
Regards,

Nikolai Onken
