[Qgis-developer] [Qgis-user] Iconset from Google

[kimaidou]

Hi,

I think we could use the same feature as in processing for sharing scripts
and models. It is based on a git repository, and works quite well. It would
be sraitforward for devs to add icons, and users would be able to choose
which icon set they want to download and then upgrade.

Regards
Michael
