+dlg-neu icons in Noosfero
+=========================
+
+The icons in this directory are taken from the dlg-neu icon theme for GNOME,
+section "apps/". We take the SVG files and convert to 64x64 PNG images, so
+these icons are in fact derived works based on dlg-neu's SVG files.
+
+Structure
+=========
+
+To keep a trace back to dlg-neu theme, when rasterizing the SVG files we keep
+the original filenames (replacing .svg by .png, obviously) and create symbolic
+links with names more sensible for Noosfero.
+
+Icons rasterization
+===================
+
+With rsvg, from the librsvg2-bin package (i.e. we use the same rasterization
+library as GNOME, so the icons must look like they do in GNOME).
+
+$ rsvg -w 64 -h 64 user_icon.svg user_icon.png
