Fonts and More
Hopefully Benji will put his font up at Open Font Library, another project that is in hibernation until there is more interest. 
It would be great for Create to work with the Tango project. I need to push more on this next week.
Good to see a different side of 50 cent.
Libre Graphics Meeting is coming along nicely.
New Media Fix is becoming an awesome resource!
Maunsell Towers are absolutely amazing and make me want to get into architecture.
Download Studio to Go to try Open Source audio software for free.
I want an open source mixing app like NI’s Traktor.
Jon, I’m already working with Tango guys, and if you have a look at Specifications section at our wiki, the shared icons spec is listed there

I would upload it but the upload is broken on the open font page.

I wish we had a nice font creation tool. I’ve played with fontforge a bit, but it’s broken w.r.t. visuals and generally ugly in many respects, so I avoid running it. Someone should fix this
(That and I need a scanner. Trying to do font design without having drawn it beforehand is bad).

Benji, I fixed the Open Font Library site to accept files now. Can you also upload your older font(s) please
Anholt, I agree that there needs to be a better font tool for OSS. How should we proceed? Or, where should we put our energy to buildup and encourage this type of development?

I’ve had very little problems using fontforge. I agree that it is ugly but it is very functional.

Jon,
If you dig deeper into Fonforge’s source tree, you will discover a 2 years old fontforge.glade. Noone is working on Gtk port anymore, so this could be a start.
I find Fontforge very functional, but really old looking.
