 I've slightly changed the 22x22 version of the paper template to be more
 consistent with the other variants (basically I made it 1 pixel
 shorter), you should update the image-missing too (the change is small
 but makes it look better). When done I have no further comments. Don't
 forget to hide the plate layer before commit (in the template SVG it is
 displayed intentionally) ;-)

   
Done.
 I also created a script for checking if the icon is ready for commit. I
 attach it. Just extract it somewhere, cd to the echo-icon-check
 directory and use it: echo-icon-check path-to-icon-svg. It should
 detect all most obvious problems (and some of them prints as warnings,
 the fatal ones as errors).
   
I have tested that script. It does its job. I think you should add quote
like Done. No error reported.

 I appreciate feedback on it so that when its released officially, it
 would be a really helpful utility. You can try to run it on the
 paper-template I attached to see that it prints an error that plate
 layer is not hidden and when you hide it it still complains about
 missing group labelled scalable, which is OK for a template, but not for
 an icon. ;-) I hope the printed errors are worded good enough...
   
Speaking about paper-template, it will be nice to set a directory to
store such template in git repository.

Good idea :)

 store such template in git repository.
I think of having them part of the echo-artist scripts (so in git they
would be in the echo-artist sources), as well as available directly on
the Guidelines page. I just also though about adding some gradient
definitions to the templates - so that we would use gradients easily and
consistently (the most used ones like gray, white, blue, green,
metallic, orange, brown, yellow). What do you think of it?

That makes sense so other artists will have easy access to these templates.

The gradients are definitely useful, so one do not have to create the 
definitions each time (and end with a slightly different one each time).



But I think you can go also with a visual swatch, like a SVG version 
of 
https://fedorahosted.org/echo-icon-theme/attachment/wiki/Guidelines/echo-palette.png 
but with gradients instead of solid colors: drag and drop this SVG into 
your drawing, delete it (the definitions are imported), use the 
gradients and then vacuum defs.

The emotes template looks pretty good, looks in my other email for
comments on the paper template.

New version of image-missing based on gnome metaphor. I have create a
template called paper-template which will be the base of incoming
mimetype icons.

Something's strange, not sure what though. Perhaps you could try to make
the X read instead of the paper and use semitransparent/greyscale
image below it on the paper to suggest that it's a (missing) image? Or
perhaps try different metaphor? The gnome metaphor seems more suggestive
to me than bluecurve (red X on a paper) or oxygen (red cancel sign on a
paper).

Also, since you are reworking first of the many icons containing the
paper, it would be nice if you provided a template with only the paper
on it, you can call it e.g. paper-template.svg or whatever. It would
help in the future with finishing most of the mimetypes icons. We could
add it to the guidelines. :-)

Also the echo-new-icon script is set-up to look into ~/Templates for
echo-one-canvas-template.svg first before using its own template - it
really helps when creating bunch of icons all containing the same part,
like envelope or paper ;-) I'll probably add a --template=PATH switch to
some future version so that you can provide your own template without
having to copy/rename it...

I will make gnome version for comparison.

Good idea. Now that you mention it, once we complete 0.4, I will create
template
for emote as well.

Ah, I did not known  that one. Does script support the xdg path i.e., in
my case, Template folder is translated into Modèle?

I think it's a good idea to provide as many templates as can be helpful
- i.e. the paper sheet, perhaps the mail envelope (though all the mail
icons are done now...), templates with some more used emblems in icons
like an arrow (used in application-exit, mail-reply, ...), plus sing,
star sign (I am working on these) -  it would greatly help with the
design and consistency...

Alas not yet, but I hope to implement it in the future (I am not sure
yet how to do it correctly). Currently it looks only for
~/Templates/echo-one-canvas-template.svg
and /usr/share/echo-artist/echo-one-canvas-template.svg in that order.
