Yea, I looked around the wiki, just the page that is used to inform you about buying a GPS (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GPS_Reviews) was just a bit too overwhelming. As apposed to something like this: http://www.bestinclass.com/digital-cameras, which makes the process a bit (a lot) easier. So I thought I might try to ask here. According to you question about icons, OSM is, almost, complete anarchy. So > someone things of something creates an icon and it is done.

Yea I intend to create the collection using Inkscape, and upload the collection with SVG source and rendered PNGs of 32, 24, and 16 sizes. Also I will make a wiki page once I get substantial progress. I'm intending to make the collection somewhat follow Tango!<http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Desktop_Project>Icon Guidelines, because the style guidelines really do make the icons look nice. I have created a list of what I'm going to try to create, please add/change, sort the list how you think it should be, or just make comments at the bottom. The list is located here: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AXYd3_GKYmbBZGhwMjlkY3pfNWM2dzd6d2Ny&hl. Finally, I have attached a traffic light (16, 24, 36 pngs) for input, hopefully you all like it. (They follow this in a way when it comes to naming: http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html .) Austin Martin
