It's already on the to do list for the django web app. I'm working with the OSGeo Graphics mailing list to try and coordinate efforts on this since they've been thinking about the idea and have an svn folder for it. In particular I've already started on some tools to automate keeping collections of icons in single svg files and using inkscape to split them into individual files for application use, while preserving metadata about the icons in the svg files themselves. My plan at this point is to then use a Django app to catalog the keywords tags from a specific field in the svg xml into a searchable database and then replicate this functionality locally as a plugin (possibly future core item in symbology). Note, as far as I know this will only work for point symbology right now, I do not have a plan for lines or polygon fills yet but that's because they aren't svg based at this time. The whole thing is still in the very early stages so I welcome conversation on the topic and invite others to join OSGeo graphics to really find a multi-app solution for the FOSS GIS community. It will probably be a few months before we get anything up on the website, since there are much higher priorities for the plugin site that still need to be done.
