Hi Chris,

Your initiative is great and we should definitely combine our efforts.

When I have started this project almost two years ago, silk icons were also
considered as base. But their size was not what we needed for GRASS.
>From my point of view, the most important issue are consistent methaphors, with
potential of scalability. If we can elaborate common set, the rest will be
easy.
Important issue are also (new) standards, like WMS, WFS, etc. I was looking for
their symbols without success, so started to propose mine vision. But it should
be done after discussion.

So your goal are 16x16px and mine 24x24px (&22x22px). What graphic software do
you use?
