Your interest if for the Echo set?

If so, the guidelines are available at
http://fedorahosted.org/echo-icon-theme/wiki/Guidelines

If you are interested on working on something like Mist, then upstream
(GNOME) is the best place.


In addition to that, there's also our request list. Lots of projects out there are looking for icon or graphics work

as for guidelines, this group pointed me towards the Tango Icon theme guidelines. It has a pallet, size information and nice work flow suggestions.
