If nobody voices a different opinion, then usually yes. I guess it is safe
to say that nobody wants you to feel alienated or anything. I hope Jorge's
offers to help with the theme and his logo design work are proof of that.
We are just taking a conservative/careful approach to making our website
design available to others, it's more about possibly regretting it later
when more people ask then about the case at hand.

Well, I guess we are very open minded towards any more "official" way of
collaborating. In any case, you guys do an awesome job as is, and at least
from my limited view point, it looks like there is a lot of fruitful
collaboration via our bug tracker already. If you have any ideas how we
could improve all that, please let us know! (Besides fixing issues
faster... :-)

Yes, it's quite nice! I actually did like the bug version on first sight
too! :-)

The icons are free to re-use. Personally, I would hope that they don't get
spread too much outside the Haiku world, but we made a consious decision
not to limit their use. They should be used with the same obligations that
the MIT license defines. Only the logo itself and the name are protected.
