How will these packages be handled? Just another package in applications? A special web
page at the Trinity web site?
I ask because there a few places in the handbook help files specifically referencing the
kde-look.org web site. I want to know how to revise those snippets.

Themes/color schemes/etc.. are generally small and don't require too much
bandwidth. I prefer collecting the various themes into a separate package or two
rather than trying to maintain a download site referenced by the handbook.
Perhaps another module named 'tdelook' could be added to the git repository.
That way the handbook could reference the base tde packages to install rather
than a site to visit (even simple pages become difficult to remember to maintain
over time by any project) I would vote for something in git like:
main/tdelook
main/tdelook/color-schemes
main/tdelook/theme-nameOfTheme1
main/tdelook/theme-nameOfTheme2
main/tdelook/theme-nameOfTheme3
I would combine all contributed color themes because the size in negligible (a
few hundred bytes to a few K each) -- even for 100 color schemes. The 'themes'
should be packaged individually due to each containing a possible background and
various icons that can be .2-5 Meg each.
A web page or web app similar to kde-look would work, but it then becomes a
separate maintenance issue for lucky person.
Those are just my thoughts on it. As mentioned - either way will work, I just
see advantages to packaging them like we do with window styles and window
decorations.

Pushing any of them to tdeartwork makes sense to me :). However, my focus is knowing how
to revise the various references. I can delete those sentences and that might be the
easiest approach as long as the imported kde-look.org themes are available to users in an
obvious manner. If they are all a part of tdeartwork then the new themes will appear in
KControl.
This now raises another point --- probably a bug report needed to resolve. In KControl,
Appearance, Theme Manager, top right corner is a link to...
kde-look.org :)
As these theme discussions started because many of the themes no longer are compatible
with Trinity, we probably should remove that link in KControl. We could provide a page at
our web site and change the KControl link to that URL, but I suspect we'll only
migrate a handful of these themes, which I then suspect get absorbed somewhere in the GIT
tree, which then appear directly in KControl.

A new subdirectory of main, probably "themes" or "addons". A couple
of
existing themes would need to be moved from "applications" (where they
don't belong) as well.

Wait I am so confused. Why isn't tdeartwork the right place? from the
README in main/tdeartwork:
This package contains additional
