things I hope that we'll discuss tomorrow and in the future on the
graphics@lists.osgeo.org. The first is how to sort or tag symbols. Since
symbols can be of a certain type but also belong to a set it will be good to
find away to allow for this without having to store symbols twice.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>

what size and format to store symbols in.</span></font></b> <span lang=EN-GB>Initially
I'm thinking about how to store both inkscape and plain svg (and comparing them)
along with batch auto-generation of png versions so that those won't have to be
in a repository.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
