Hi Nyall,
The problem is it's near impossible to know what people will use for
symbology.
> battery indicators
Charging stations; indicators of expected charge during a Battery
operated vehicle event; etc [although probably only need the empty one;
the full rest can be created with symbology and a rectangle]
> volume
Mapping a festival; tracking noise complaints; etc
> most of the "hand" ones
I'd probably keep about half of them. The rotation variants are not
needed of course, but quite a few hands could be used: hand-wash (I hear
there's something going around...), hand-pointer, praying-hands,
handshake, hand-rock, hand-holding (the variants can be created by
symbology), hands, hand-sparkles. I can think of uses for all of these.
It's obviously subjective but I'd lean on the side of including ones
that look like they could be useful, especially given the suggestions
around categorisation and search in my other thread which would improve
discoverability. Remember people make maps of all manner of crazy
things, and often subvert one symbol to mean another thing (with some
tweaking) [or maybe that's just me ;-) ].
Cheers,
Jonathan

I'd be happy to do that, though I'd note that what one person thinks is
useless, would be useful to another person. Sure I'm struggling to
conceive of a use for "alignment" or "bezier-curve", but a quick look
suggests probably over 50% would be potentially useful. Over 80% if you
remain open minded about how people use these things.
That's the kind of ones I was referring to. Also stuff like volume
up/down, battery indicators, the calender +/-/check icons, most of the
"hand" ones, a bunch of the "user" ones. I can't see those EVER being
used in a map! By the time you remove them and all the brand ones then
you're probably down to about 20% of the original set.

I second Regis plan: if someone forks (or even clones) the github repo, and
creates a simple script to morph it a little to resemble the structure you need
for the 'QGIS Resource Sharing' Plugin to work (see [0] as simple example and
[1] for the nice documentation of it), the icons are one click away for users
(plus another one to install the plugin).
And the more proper Resource set's we are having, the better our style/icon
resources will get.
