Okay, it's better to have a guideline like this in a more accessible 
spot rather than buried in a long email in the archives. Condensing 
those points and adding them to the wiki would be helpful.

It does seem strange to me that that half the dialog icons are 
straight-on at 24x24 (dialog-cancel, dialog-close dialog-ok) and half 
are isometric at 24x24 (dialog-question, dialog-error, dialog-warnig)... 
because they're the same class of icons although they aren't next to 
each other in the wiki. Sure, some are action and some are status as 
classified in the wiki, but aren't they used in conjunction with each other?

If you're working on the weather icons you should mark them on the wiki 
so others don't try to.

I already did the work of converting the home emblem so no need to redo 
that.
