> As the best co-ordination would be to integrate the drawn icons into the codebase, right? That's later in the process. We need a way to say "I am going to be drawing these 24 icons, please nobody else draw the same ones", and see the icons to be done next to each other while adding comments to individual ones regarding consistency etc. The PR process is more heavyweight--it requires a bunch of steps: reviewing the graphics in the drawing tool to check for technical problems (pixel alignment, unnecessary anchor points), creating a new git branch, conversion from Inkscape or Illustrator to the actual SVG files, insertion of licenses into SVG files, recompilation to produce screenshots, reviewing new icons side-by-side in the GUI, waiting for comments, and so on. The batch approach is needed (1) to minimize work per icon and (2) to be able to review icons for consistency before they all go into use in the IDE. If you disagree with the need for a batch approach, taking the above points into account, that would be a useful discussion to resolve. The coordination method follows from that. > Will anyone do that [integrate the drawn icons into the codebase] anytime soon? I can do that, but not before February, unfortunately. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
