Derk-Jan (DJ) is a prolific contributor to our front-end stack -- a veritable Tzadik Nistar[0] who goes around quietly fixing and improving things. You may have met him at the architecture summit. He is currently working on improvements to the CodeEditor extension, which provides an alternative text editor for editing source code (like Lua modules, for example), and has requested some help in creating icons for the toolbar. See his post to wikitech-l for details:

I'm writing to endorse his request and to encourage designers with a cycle or two to spare to help out! :)

To help Ori sell this a little more... CodeEditor is used to edit incredibly important stuff: Common CSS and JS for our wikis, Lua scripts, JSON for EventLogging schemas, and more.
This is a power user/technical feature when used directly, but improved CodeEditor usability means that we can help prevent bad code/enable good new code that impacts all users on our sites.
I don't see a clear ask for... A.What icons are needed, B.what the metaphors for those icons are, C. What icons exist that would be augmented/replaces (with an image of them, and links to the resources)
If that can be communicated here https://trello.com/c/VKhizomH/3-icons-for-code-editor I can prioritize and figure out resources and time to get it done.

Community members cannot edit or comment on Trello (at least that is what Quiddity told me)
Yuvi, that board is public and accepts comments as long as you make a trello account. A community member and I worked through it.

Afaik, To comment on a card, one has to: A) create a Trello account and B) be attached as a member to the particular Trello Board [Or C) be assigned as a Trello-account admin]
Ie. someone cannot instantly start adding comments, as soon as they create an account. They have to be manually approved by one of the Board or Trello-account admins.

Ignore my previous explanation! Sorry, my mistake:
This is a Trello board that isn't part of the WMF account, hence doesn't have the same default restrictions. And I've found additional settings panels, in other account. Will investigate further.
