Appearance
Only partially ready for consumption. We already found out about which Oxygen icons already conform to the spec, but the ones that don't conform are not yet listed in here, and there's not yet a plan at the moment on how to proceed with those.
Specification compliance of icon names
Icon names without notes already exist in the freedesktop.org icon naming specification.

To do for Oxygen
Icons that are in the spec, but not yet in Oxygen's actions/ (after renaming) so they need to be added. Descriptions taken from the specification
address-book-new The icon used for the action to create a new address book. (or "new-address-book", depending on the outcome of the discussion.) appointment-new The icon used for the action to create a new appointment in a calendaring application. (or "new-appointment", depending on the outcome of the discussion) document-page-setup The icon for the page setup action of a document editor. edit-find-replace The icon for the find and replace action. edit-select-all The icon for the select all action. format-text-direction-ltr The icon for the left-to-right text formatting action. format-text-direction-rtl The icon for the right-to-left formatting action. help-about The icon for the About item in the Help menu. (Editor's note: not used in KDE, probably a copy of the "(i)" icon is sufficient.) help-faq The icon for the FAQ item in the Help menu. (Editor's note: not used in KDE either, at the moment.) insert-link The icon for the insert link action of an application. insert-object The icon for the insert object action of an application. mail-mark-important The icon for the mark as important action of an electronic mail application. mail-mark-junk The icon for the mark as junk action of an electronic mail application. mail-mark-read The icon for the mark as read action of an electronic mail application. mail-mark-unread The icon for the mark as unread action of an electronic mail application. mail-send-receive The icon for the send and receive action of an electronic mail application. object-flip-horizontal The icon for the action to flip an object horizontally. object-flip-vertical The icon for the action to flip an object vertically. view-sort-ascending The icon used for the "Sort Ascending" item in the application's "View" menu, or in a button for changing the sort method for a list. view-sort-descending The icon used for the "Sort Descending" item in the application's "View" menu, or in a button for changing the sort method for a list.
Summary of the suggested changes and additions
The ones marked with * and should therefore go into the icon naming specification, presented here in a shorter list for a better overview. Including a suggested short description text like needed for inclusion in the spec.
archive-extract The icon used for the action that extracts files and directories from an archive. archive-insert The icon used for the action that inserts files and directories into an archive. archive-remove The icon used for the action that removes files and directories from an archive. dialog-apply The icon used for the "Apply" button that might appear in dialog windows. edit The icon for the generic edit action. (Rationale: There are a lot of things that need to be edited: bookmarks, contacts, todos, away messages, fill/stroke colors, app specific item properties of any kind, ... There should be a generic edit icon as a common ground and fallback for these use cases.) help-contextual The icon for the contextual help / "What's this" icon in the Help menu. insert-table The icon for the insert table action of an application. mail-receive The icon for the receive action of an electronic mail application. mail-reply-sender -> mail-reply (Rationale: In order to support more reply methods than the expected ones. KMail, at least, has "Reply" as "intelligent reply" - automatically do the right thing - and also "Reply to all", "Reply to author" and "Reply to mailing list". The latter is not in the spec, and doesn't need to be, but in order to enable mail-reply-list, we need a mail-reply fallback.) system-switch-user The icon used for the "Switch User" item in the desktop's panel application. system-search -> system-find The icon used for the "Find Files/Folders" item in the desktop's panel application. (Rationale: For consistency - edit-find also uses Find, and there's no good reason to use Search here.) tab-detach The icon used for the "Detach Tab" action. tab-duplicate The icon used for the "Duplicate Tab" action. tab-new The icon used for the "New Tab" action. tab-close The icon used for the "Close Tab" action. zoom-fit-height The icon used for the "Zoom to Height" item in the application's "View" menu. zoom-fit-width The icon used for the "Zoom to Width" item in the application's "View" menu. zoom-fit-best (instead of zoom-best-fit)
