Everyone,
Information about the event, as well as the list of symbols we've compiled so far, are on this page: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Events/The_Noun_Project_Iconathon
I took an initial stab at categorization, but please feel free to change it if you have some more sensible categories in mind.

Glad everyone's getting excited about this! So far we have a great turnout of designers on the Eventbrite.
What is the plan, if there is any? Any wiki page for coordination?
And also: is there a wishlist we could add to? Quim mentioned the MediaWiki visual identity page: we're currently in need of great icons for our tech volunteer engagement pages.
The way this works is we compile and prioritize a list of symbols we
want
to visually encode. The Noun Project will choose around 30 of these to tackle in an Iconathon (they have a pretty good feel for what can be
done
based on past experiences). The design team is getting an initial list together and will put it up on a Wiki for people to add to. We'll link
it on
this thread.
TNP will be running the show as far as event logistics. The event will have the following structure:
A short lecture from a domain expert (someone from WMF). Presentation by one of The Noun Project's founders to introduce the Iconathon design process that has worked for them in the past. Lunch and mingling for 30-60 minutes. Break into groups of 3-5 with designated symbols to work on. Design
with
pen, paper, whiteboard. This will last a few hours. Closing/wrap-up discussion.
Afterwards, The Noun Project will take the pen/paper sketches and have their vector artists render them in SVG. They will be released about a
month
after the event under a CC public domain marker.
Wondering whether this event will help directly or indirectly improving in any way
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Design/Agora_Icon_Set
Yup. This event was set up to serve these projects directly.
