Yes. Oxygen in KDE IIUC is using the same naming scheme. Probably a more 
important step than any particular theme design for interoperability

Fedora project generally hasnt been good at marketing and the focus has 
remained mostly on churning out engineering resources on improving the 
underlying system rather than look and feel. The current development 
branch has received some attention and some of the efforts should be 
visible by now. Involving more of the community into the design process 
is a good goal. Suggestions welcome.

Partially thats the failure of the marketing project to define a set of 
guidelines for the artists before throwing open the contest and get the 
desktop/design  team on board to discuss the proposals and offer 
suggestions.  It also brought in the need to reach out better to the 
community for various Fedora related news. We learned from that and I am 
working on improving in both these fronts.
