Concrete renaming suggestions
Icon names without trailing stars already exist in the
freedesktop.org icon naming specification.
*-mount -> svn rm, right now. See below (*)
for the explanation.
3floppy-unmount -> media-floppy
audio-headset OK **
audio-input-line OK **
audio-input-microphone OK
camera-unmount -> camera-photo
cdaudio-unmount -> media-optical-audio **
cdwriter-unmount -> media-optical-recordable **
cellular-phone-unmount -> phone
cpu ??
drive-optical -> media-optical
dvd-unmount -> svn rm, as media should be represented
by their contents, not their disc format.
hdd-external-unmount -> drive-removable-media
hdd-unmount -> drive-harddisk
hdd-usb-unmount -> drive-removable-media-usb ***
ipod-unmount -> multimedia-player-ipod
joystick -> input-gaming
keyboard -> input-keyboard
laptop -> computer-laptop **
memory-stick-unmount -> media-flash-memory-stick ***
mouse -> input-mouse
nfs-unmount -> drive-remote **
printer OK
projector -> video-projector **
scanner OK
screen -> video-display
sd-mmc-unmount -> media-flash-sd-mmc ***
smart-media-unmount -> media-flash-smart-media ***
system -> computer
tablet -> input-tablet
usbpendrive-unmount -> media-flash-usb **
video-television OK **
webcam -> camera-web
* The specification's way of doing "*-mounted" icons would be
mount emblems, overlaying the standard ones. Kévin and Aaron
claim to have a solution at hand right now, so let's kill all
"*-mounted" icons instantly.
** suggesting this for inclusion into the icon naming specification
*** not in the spec, but let's keep it out of there anyways,
it's not really suited to be a standard icon

Icons that are in the spec, but not yet in Oxygen's devices/
(after renaming) so they need to be added. Descriptions taken
from the specification.
audio-card
The icon used for the audio rendering device.
battery
The icon used for the system battery device.
(Let's just move actions/battery.svg to devices/.)
camera-video
The fallback icon for video cameras
drive-optical
The icon used for optical media drives such as CD and DVD.
media-flash
The fallback icon used for flash media, such as memory stick
and SD.
media-tape
The icon used for generic physical tape media.
modem
The icon used for modem devices.
multimedia-player
The icon used for generic multimedia playing devices.
network-wired
The icon used for wired network connections.
network-wireless
The icon used for wireless network connections.
pda
This is the fallback icon for Personal Digial Assistant devices.
Primary use of this icon is for PDA devices connected to the PC.
Connection medium is not an important aspect of the icon. The
metaphor for this fallback icon should be a generic
PDA device icon.

Icons that are neither in the spec nor in Oxygen's devices/
(after renaming) but still should be added to both.
media-optical-video
The icon used for physical optical media such as CD and DVD
containing video content.

Don't know what to do with...
cpu
The specification does not contain any low-level processing
units, such as CPUs or RAM. I can't think of an appropriate
"category" name for those. The only word that I found which
comes close was "internal-*" (internal-cpu, internal-memory, ...)
but I'm not sure if this consistent with the rest of the
devices category in the spec and extensible enough.
Input and better ideas appreciated.
