I believe the ones I will be creating first will be rather general use.
You talk about making them available via the wiki. Is there already a space in
the wiki with shared symbols? I looked for it (rather quickly, I confess) but
coudln't find any.

My main idea is to have a "complete" symbol set to use. From this point of view
the best approach would be to complete the most complete one but I will
probably work with the UIS one as being the most standartized one.

How does it work exactly? What is the list of symbol sets searched by Therion?
In which order are they searched? I couldn't find references to this in Therion
Book (in another quick search).

How?

Definitely. I agree. I'm not sure I'm the person to solve this issue but who
knows?
