Yes, agree. The "pre-approved" style guide would be needed mainly if we end up starting to process individual, smaller PRs like https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2376 . > There are a number of initiatives such as Open Source Design > https://opensourcedesign.net/ that I've come across at both FOSDEM and Libre > Graphics Meeting.

If someone wants to take on a larger chunk of the project, they can take more control. -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: Neil C Smith <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 9, 2020 9:19 AM To: dev <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Side discussion: Style guide for SVG icons On Tue, 8 Sep 2020 at 21:22, Eirik Bakke <[email protected]> wrote: > Regardless of how we end up doing the conversion of bitmap icons to SVG, it > would be useful to reach a consensus on the graphical style to use. I like your style there, *but* I'm not sure reaching consensus on the graphical style before deciding on a route to progress this is the right approach. There are a number of initiatives such as Open Source Design https://opensourcedesign.net/ that I've come across at both FOSDEM and Libre Graphics Meeting. I think it might be worth reaching out to one or more of them. We might find it easier to find good icon designer(s) willing to contribute if they have a chance to work with us on proposing and defining a graphical style?
