I would much prefer that you maintain it on your own server, and that I 
only link to it.

Because I'm really bad at making icons, and nobody has been volunteering 
any yet.  The Tango galery looks great, I'll try to steal some icons for 
Ipe.  (We would still need prettier icons for the various Ipe modes.)

> Is it possible to collaborate on its development? Can I propose features?

Feature requests are entered in Ipe bugzilla.  If it's a major feature, 
possibly controversial, or if it's a change of behaviour, it's probably 
better to discuss it on this list first.

You can certainly implement features you want to see, and send me 
patches relative to the latest release.  You should better check first 
that I agree with the feature in the first place :-)
