Let me add a 

13. Group, layer, and name the icon area placeholder according to
    https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/User_Experience/Tools 
    section SVG Icon / Graphics Workflow, so that we can extract and
    convert them by script.

I'd need to re-find the svgs that have this labelling for examples,
but the extraction script generally expects a <name>_<size> labelling,
and exports to <name><size>.png - of course that can be adjusted. Just
be consistent. :)

(I can do that for a handful of icons manually, as done for the
android icons - but it becomes intractable for large icon sets. Of
course, cannot harm to equip also the android icons with said labels)

Beyond that, great initiative - thanks a lot! And, once the workflow
is decided, prolly worth sticking to the wiki prominently?

Cheers,

-- Thorsten
