I forgot to mention in our session today (and I don't know if I missed it). I think we should define everything: line-weights, shadow depth/color/diffusion ... anything we can remember to name.
I would also like to suggest standardized naming practices for MediaWiki pages and uploading images to commons. For instance, regarding icons: something like, "WMF (project abbreviation if specific to one) (some abbreviation of the icon name)"
WMF WP Watchlist icon WMF Mobile Forward icon
Or whatever makes the most sense to everyone. Anything that would help make things more identifiable, because once in commons things get a little crazy (despite categories, etc, as people don't always search that way).
Thanks!!

As far as icon naming conventions go, they should be something along the lines of:
WMF-Iconsetname-Name_of_Icon-COLORHEX
