What is the plan, if there is any? Any wiki page for coordination?
Wondering whether this event will help directly or indirectly improving in any way

+1; this is super-awesome :)
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.

An additional question: do you already have a specific license in mind for the icons you're going to create? The Noun Project's attribution requirements are pretty strict. For interface icons and others that we want to use in volunteer contribution pipelines, it would be really cool if they could be licensed under CC-0, to avoid having to worry too much about linking to credits (as is currently the case on mediawiki.org).
Glad everyone's getting excited about this! So far we have a great turnout of designers on the Eventbrite.

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:
1. A short lecture from a domain expert (someone from WMF). 2. Presentation by one of The Noun Project's founders to introduce the Iconathon design process that has worked for them in the past. 3. Lunch and mingling for 30-60 minutes. 4. Break into groups of 3-5 with designated symbols to work on. Design with pen, paper, whiteboard. This will last a few hours. 5. 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.

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.

With categories do you mean the sections or the bullets (concepts)?
