Comment:

 imoore13's group at Allegheny College is going to pick up this ticket.

 Here is some information for you folks to help you complete this ticket:

 1) Our icons follow the gnome style. You can see this style here:
 http://people.freedesktop.org/~jimmac/icons/ if you click on the different
 headers (Actions / Apps / Categories / etc) you can see the icons that
 exist today.

 2) One tactic we take a lot is to create new icons from some pieces of the
 ones that have already been done; reusing components helps make consistent
 icons. You'll very likely need to create components from scratch too,
 though. You can pick up the style of the icons a bit by opening up the
 source for already-existing icons and taking a look at how they're built.

 3) Also there's a particular color palette you'll want to use, I need to
 find a link for you.

 4) Some guidelines that are applicable to the icon style are here:
 http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines  I think the
 GNOME icon theme color palette is slightly different - I will have to get
 back to you with more information on that.

 5) You will need a Dropbox (dropbox.com) account to access the SVG sources
 for the GNOME icon theme icons. I've sent an invite to imoore13 so you can
 get access. When you sign up for your Dropbox account and get it installed
 let me know and I'll add you to the right folder.
