Hahaha, well... I'm out of date about windows and I never used Mac OS, 
so I haven't much to say here... :D Only one: I love my Ubuntu! :P

Great, I already installed the color palette and I'll try use it in my 
works. :) It looks great, better and most clear than the Inkscape 
[bloated] pallete. No more scroll the palette toolbar from now. :D.

Thank you for explaining! :D I really like the current branding and I 
don't propose to change it too soon. For this reason your feedback and 
from other  people from this team is so important to me. I know my 
potential (and I believe in it above anything), but we are all 
apprentice by trial and error, and we'll ever be. There's no better way 
to improve my habilities than listening people's feedback. And by my own 
experience, they ever were right. :D

About this page "Work Items", I think it's too much information for 
me... **yet**. I don't know much of these items as marketing or create 
presentations/web content. So I'll try to focus on simple design and 
help the others. I'm really thankful to all tips and links you has sent 
to me, they help me so much to undertand this community and know how I 
can put my efforts to help it! :D

I think would be better wait for more feedback. Do you think I should 
make the other icons on 256px, or they are really unecessary for now? 
And the 128px version? Should I resume detailing them? I don't see too 
much difference, but if it's nice I can do it

do any critiques. :D

Good night (is it night right there, isn't? :D )
