Hi,
Regarding the symbol/style sharing platform, I'd like to share this site:
https://openclipart.org/
Which may serve as an inspiration for our symbol/style sharing platform.
I would propose to run scour (an SVG scrubber)
(https://github.com/codedread/scour) on the uploaded SVG files to remove
unused/unnecessary resources. It helps to keep the SVG icon files clean
and small.
Then I think it would be important that an SVG icon that is included
into our central repository meets some minimum quality standards:
- contains the necessary SVG parameters that allows replacing of fill,
stroke, stroke-width and opacity
- keywords and titles
- author contact
- source (if copied from another source)
- checkbox where the uploading person confirms that (s)he is either the
original author of the symbol or has the rights to share the icon
- should we propose a standard license on the icons?
Greetings,
Andreas
