The icon is the default "Continue" icon. *shrug* At the Summit we wondered how much work it would be to create the LOLcale we all really desire. I think using a script to handle most of the conversions and then improving the rest by hand would let us cover significant ground. :) Ah, good point.

So is there a mailing list for the lolcat L10 team yet?
