Hi all!

We're now having some logos done...
I gathered them on the wiki :
http://ichthiux.free.fr/wikini/wakka.php?wiki=IchthuxLogo

I modified (although not entirely yet) the main page of the wiki (
http://ichthiux.free.fr/wikini/wakka.php?wiki=Main ) so as to take in
account the merging of the projects as a new one.

God bless

Raphaël
