Because some of the files are possible to include as SVG. I haven't
discussed anything with Adrien concerning these files other than to
suggest that we use a few of them. (I was tending to stay away from the
abstract ones thought).

And perhaps you are right on this. We have wasted so much effort
discussing this that I almost ready to stop discussing things are start
doing real work.

If you say now that there are no vector based files for these and nobody
has any intention fo making them, then yes, it might be better in the
long run to remove them.

Good lord I said that wee should discuss this, and that anyone with good
ideas on how to improve thingss should step up. I did not mean that I was
going to change anything overnight. Perhaps you want to work on this
stuff? You seem to be interested in it enough :-)

Or we could stop complaining about things that we are not willing to change
ourselves and start changing things.

Once again, this list has been reduced to long threads concerning the
work of one or perhpas two people. Things will never work this way.

There is so much interest in the art stuff here, but everyone seems to
want to redefine the wheel at the first chance. I strongly suggest that
we all start working together on the many different projects that are
underway. There is enough work to be done, that is for sure.

Bye,
Kenneth
