I'm a total sucker for great looking graphics created to meet specific purposes. I like the idea a lot. Your icons are fantastic.<br>
<br>
Let's assume we were to use them. Would you think other people (i.e., not the original authors of the protocols) go through and add
the icons? There are a lot of existing protocols already on OWW; it
would be nice to think about how this could be applied to them. <br><br>If anyone were to do that, there may be a few other things we could to simply annotate protocols. <br><br>Making them small fits in with the way our current sidebar icons work. What do you think of using the icons without the words until someone either hovered on them or asked what they meant? Maybe a key to their meaning would also work.<br>
<br><br>Thanks for the great work.<br><br>Bill<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 5, 2008 at 1:33 PM, Jakob Suckale <<a href="mailto:suckale@mpi-cbg.de">suckale@mpi-cbg.de</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
What do you guys thing about decorating our protocols a little with<br>
icons highlighting important parts of the instructions like: critical<br>
and/or difficult steps, time info, and possible points to interrupt<br>
the experiment.<br>
